Second, that he began sculpting, even, as Owen says, at an older age. It is never late to begin a project I think. Sometime the traditional model of education is not the best for raising someone´s talent and skills. And by keeping his own way, Mr Bruce stayed away from the tyranny of the trends. As a matter of fact, outsiders are always fighting against all kind of tyrannies. Is a fortune that modern education also focus on prompt the artistic skills of the youth, otherwise, many talents would had been lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449219498394377859.post-85816682296832576102009-11-01T17:19:40.375+01:002009-11-01T17:19:40.375+01:00Hi Owen, Blogging -like me- on a rainy sunday afte...Hi Owen, Blogging -like me- on a rainy sunday afternoon? The website you refer to, is rather complete. There is a personal statement by mr Bruce himself about his youth and what inspired him to do his (indeed wonderful!) sculpting. He looked at trees in a special way. No wonder, his work is greeted by so many people from Scotland.<br />All the best....henk van eshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112057600333088287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449219498394377859.post-58902851499028430872009-11-01T16:10:40.487+01:002009-11-01T16:10:40.487+01:00His sculptures look incredibly well done, amazing ...His sculptures look incredibly well done, amazing given that he started so late in life... so maybe there is some hope yet for us old-timers, eh ?
