    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.

    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.

    Very intersting to see how he tries to capture the motions of the waves with his knifestrokes and how the paintings are made "in" the elements without almost any safeguards or distance. At the same time, my heart cries out at the vast amount of paint/pigment (and money) he liberally applies impasto to the canvas. This is "HARD" art. Must take forever to dry, yet he seems to get variation in fine lines and values. Good documentary.
