Very moving... In an age where the critic, historian and dealer promote themselves as the stars of the artworld, the simplicity and directness of a man facing the elements and his own mortality with paint blows all the crap away! Happy birthday George.

What do we leave behind after we pass? Every masterpiece like these are a fingerprints of love from the artist heart and soul...

Wonderful film…I am 74 and a painter…he has set a standard in creativity and relentless pursuit and fearless desire to challenge and discover his visions and imagination, at a time , when most humans his age have long sense pulled over and parked for good…I truly thank him for his unique inspiration…be safe and sound

It's like an orchestra. He feels and directs nature and carves his own notes into his sheet music.

That is what you call, Raw painting, that struck you inner core

He certainly gives his all, he draws energy from the scene before him and redirects to the board. Hes also a boy just playing in the mud. Alive! Great video, in the moment, quiet, evocative. Feel his struggle physically, hear his breath. I was transported, i was present. Well done.

I went across the street to the hardware store. Purchased puddy knives and started painting. Thanks George.

Gorgeous works. A tempestuous balance between chaos and control.

Didn't know George's work,but it's wonderful, his endeavors are an inspiration to a youngster like myself (68) , that I can be still going for another 10 years or more. Keep on rocking George 😉

A most precious capture of George at his easel at his best & at one with his subject in time - place & space. We must endeavour to celebrate and document our artists in the living and not in memorial !

a man full of poetry

A real artist ,who doesn't care about the surrounding.

Very cool, and inspiring, I wish I could afford to use that much paint.

I found it incredibly moving to watch him work, to see how deep into the landscape he is drawn. Hearing his efforts as he made way to his chosen vista under the burden of his materials, all so evocative. I watched imagining the salt and sand in the oils adding forever to the authentic nature of his work. A true and powerful artist ❤️🙏

The one piece I like best is the last one. His selection of location of the bay was perfect. The colors and the foreground with the ships and sky colors are an artists dream. I am so glad this artists work came up on my feed! Beautiful talent ❤
