Bruce A. Wilson is a painter, designer, and illustrator raised in California and now a full-time resident of Orcas Island.
Wilson studied fine art at Art Center College of Design, specializing in figure drawings, portraiture and painting. 
Changing his major to Advertising Design, it wasn’t until he retired from his advertising agency in 2005 that he retired and turned his attentions back to painting.
He began using a heated environment in 1998 while in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
His painting strokes were fairly uniform wavy lines to achieve an impression of the beaches and water around him, eventually moving on to hills, plants, clouds, trees and now other worlds.
As his interest in this medium continued, Wilson learned to control the heat which would give him thinner and thicker strokes which adds a little more personality to his impressions.
Wilson mixes his own pigments with oil pastels and oils to creamy consistency and applies them to ultra smooth gessoed boards, a technique he calls Thermal Oil and Wax.
The varied thicknesses in his work enables his works to take on a textured abstract/surrealist feel.

I think so too. The paintings say so much with so little.

I feel like I can see what the painting is supposed to be — sky, desert, clouds— without having it explained to me!
