    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.

    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

    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.

      'He's also just a boy playing in the mud' is a really nice expression and very apt in his case.

    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 ❤️🙏

    I love his work = he captures movement and they are dynamic beautiful plein air pieces. I saw how he uses his hands and tools and holds them up to get the angles and direction fo what he is looking at. I am a fair weather plein air painter and sometime do this myself. Just love this - great little film. Thank you for the inspiration!

    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.

    This was an exceptional film. I did not know this artist's work, but it was a brave and wonderful decision to simply let the work, and the way the artist works, to speak for itself. When I saw him out facing the harsh elements I thought of Joan Erdley. Artists of their generation were made of sterner stuff. Thank you and hats off to George Rowlett, beautiful, beautiful work!
