I love George's style. It's imprecise, yet right on target. You clearly know the subject, yet the lines are not defined. There's a comfortable freedom with the brush. It's what it might feel like to walk into a home where there might be a jacket thrown onto the couch and the morning paper is lying open at careless angle. The subjects are so inviting they beg me to come over for a visit. And George is someone I would love to have over for dinner.
Another amazing interview! Imagine drawing from the masters at the Louvre with so few people around! I keep extra mats around to pop on a painting if I am deciding whether or not it is any good. It really helps! Thanks for sharing.

So glad George’s paintings resonated with you.

Thanks Vicki! I had similar thoughts when George described his copying days at the Louvre.
