Rembrandt Fusion, after two different Rembrandt self-portraits, acrylic on artist canvas board, 12" X 9", was begun by fine artist George Porter as a free drawing and painting demonstration at Michael's Stores in Portland, Oregon in November 2016. After studying two different self-portraits done by the master Renaissance painter Rembrandt, and then creating several digitized color separations, the artist began a free drawing demonstration by freehand sketching the image using charcoal and a vector drawing method that he has perfected and shares with students. In the painting demonstration, the artist laid in light washes of Grumbacher acrylic paint as an underpainting in the classic Renaissance style. After many more layers of paint and varnish, this little jewel of a painting is now available for purchase in the artist's online shop. For information about upcoming art demonstrations and art classes by George Porter in the Portland area, please contact the artist.

amy's colors, an original acrylic painting by George Porter was created in memory of Amy Wagner, a gifted artist and dear friend who contracted cancer of the spine in 2009 and valiantly fought the disease that left her paralyzed from the neck down for four years. Throughout her ordeal she remained a source of inspiration for friends and family, gradually learning to paint again using only her mouth and a mouthstick.
Like Amy's paintings, which were filled with rich, vibrant colors, George Porter chose bright vivid colors for his memorial painting of Amy. It is full of symbolism and a reflection of his deep-felt love and appreciation of Amy and her artwork. amy's colors was gifted to James Wagner, Amy's husband, and their two young sons where it remains in their private collection.
