  • Yes that's definitely one of my father's pieces of art. His abstract works made the brains work hard. The beauty was the individual's interpretation. Enjoy.

I didn't know George but I think I have a piece of art work that he either owned or created.
My condolences to his family. I'll add it to the pictures. X
