Kathy, I didn’t know George all that well, though he was a lifelong friend of my father. I believe he always painted oil on canvas; but in his latter years he finally found his new medium, which was assembling wood collages.
When we went to his house in ’76 – it was an old church marvellously restored to be home and studio, George had a number of large pastel horizon sea scapes in sort of a pointalist presentation. And there were also the wood collages, on a large scale – four by six foot, or so.
You can follow the Wikipedia links to his bio and many of his displayed works. The one thing I always liked about George, besides that he was such a nice fellow, he always had a calm certainty that what he was doing was great art.
Send submissions to: litupmagazine1@gmail.com. Preferably in the body of an email. Guidelines: please read the entirety of Lit Up Magazine (though that has nothing to do with submis-sions, just thought you might find it interesting - is some mighty good stuff here - by some damn fine writers and artists). Typically submissions are accepted (or not) rather quickly. So if you don't hear back soon, it's likely a "not" and as Steve McDermott once said "it wasn't what we wanted" for whatever reason that might be. Enjoy - and appreciate the beauty all around
us.
LOVE these! any info on sizes of the works? and medium?
