Bruce Raven, or fondly known as 'The Bruce' is considered a master of painting. We lost Bruce this winter. He is truly missed by his friends, family and students.In Memory of Bruce Raven By Jill Nichols Cry a tear of Cerulean blue, mixed with a spot of Sap Green Roll down my cheek of Cadmium Red Light and Yellow Ochre My eyes are blood shot with Alizarin Crimson My sorrow is shades of gray mixed from a palette of years gone Now lets sweeten the colors a bit and for the sake of the picture Smile, a warm smile mixed with Cadmium Yellow A warm embrace of Burnt Sienna and Orange Hopeful eyes now with some Ultramarine Blue Leave me with your memories and paintings Both yours and mine You will stay between my heart and the canvas A blend of humor, knowledge and love A color that you mixed once still remains. Rest now, our hands will carry on as best we can.
