Fine Artist George Porter attracts art collectors across the United States with his commissioned paintings

Pacific Northwest fine artist George Porter of George Porter Fine Art in Lake OswegoOregon has attracted a following of art collectors across the United States, who appreciate his stunning urban and rural landscapesbold colors, and master techniques. Painting in his own unique style, one that the artist has developed over the years by studying paintings created by master artists of the luminist and impressionist periods, George Porter combines their master techniques with new technologies in acrylic paint and computer imagery to create stunning new works of fine art for clients.

"I love getting my clients involved in the conceptual design of a new painting, sending them sketches of my ideas and photos to illustrate what I have in mind. I am able to connect with people here locally, across the country, and around the world using a high-speed internet connection and email to communicate with my clients throughout the creative process. Whether they are looking for a new interpretation of an old master painting, or a fresh, new original work of art, I make sure that I understand exactly what my clients need and want, then I use my artistic skills to deliver it." -- George Porter

And judging from the feedback, the artist has been very successful indeed:
