George Stone

Columbia, SC

Art has been a consistent, life-long pursuit for George Stone, as he began his studies with artist Mabel Shealy during the early 1970’s and has been painting ever since. In recent years he has continued his education by taking classes and workshops in painting under a number of nationally known artists. Stone is a representational oil painter who focuses primarily on landscape and still life subject matter. He paints extensively from life (plein air) but also works in the studio using plein air studies, sketches and photographic reference. He has won many awards and his paintings hang in numerous private collections. Stone attempts to convey the beauty and dignity of everyday scenes to his viewers through a clear concept, accurate drawing, expressive values and color and a well-designed composition. Developing a mood in his landscapes by accurately capturing the quality of light present is of paramount importance.
