I only recently "met" you.... through your paintings that grace the walls of The Mansion in Las Vegas. They captivated me and stirred my blood. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

You were the one who taught me to loosen up and paint with freedom. I love you for that.

Lynette,
I just found out of George's passing! I am sooo sorry! You were so in love with each other. I am sorry I was not there for you! Love, Teri

i just found out you left us. but your spirit remains with us. you were a nice
man and i as a art student in the late 70s to early 80s learned all about
conceptal art having a dialectic with ones art. i still have my notebook that
you had us keep with your wriiten words of encouragement. i always appreciated
those words. You were a keeper. Life is way to short.

You my sage
I miss you well
I know you know
You always did
and I believe
you always will

Though this room
has divided us
my heart knows
you're not far from us
I think of you
every single day

Sunday dinners
delicious food
on your Venice deck
talk of art
your students
endearing stories
your flirtatious
admiration
for Lynette
laughter
expressions
of love
dear...

I will miss George a great deal, his compassion,sense of vision and his uniqueness. He made me feel like I could do anything.

I'm still missing you George. I keep expecting to see you parked on campus and walking down the hall. I feel such sadness that I my time with you has ended but I'm grateful that it was enough time to change me forever. You were inspiring and you fostered individuality and growth within me. You helped me to see who I really was and I feel blessed to have known you because I know I'm a better person because of it. I will forever miss you.

Jorge,
What I really wanted to say is "thank you" for telling me to become a professional artist...when that idea never crossed my mind not even once in my life. You believed in me...even when I never did. I said NEVER.
Your endless positive spirit inspires me to never give up on being an artist.

I will always love you.
