George Kennedy is an instinctual artist who is self-taught and paints through passion alone. With his heart in the country his paintings exude the texture and colour of the rural environment. This includes his paintings of dogs and horses which he brings to life to such an extent that the viewer feels he can run his hand down the muscled back of a thoroughbred racehorse, feel the excitement of a horse race or feel their fingers furrow through the thick coat of a sheepdog.

It is the combination of the use of texture and an instinctive naturally fluent style of painting which puts life into what he paints.
