Bring the outdoors in with this strong mountain portrait.

"Mountain Stream" acrylic on 9"x11" canvas board matted in "17x15 blue frame with glass.

Inspiration: When I was young my father used to take my younger brother and I camping almost every weekend in the White Mountains (NH) in a big canvas tent. In the spring, a favorite spot was the edge of the cold Pemigewasset River. We stayed at the Pemi Campground and could see the mountains in the distance dusted with snow. Memories of sitting at the campfire or climbing on the rocks in the river remain in my memory to this day.

Artist Bio: George Donahue has been involved with PYD for since 1987 and has mentored three young adults. He was also a Youth Coordinator for one of the programs for many years. Always with a video camera in hand, George has recorded several PYD events.

George has had a form of Muscular Dystrophy called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) since his early 20s, affecting the nervous system and peripheral nerves. The disease has progressed slowly over the years, mostly affecting his lower legs and hands, so that now he uses a manual wheelchair.

Since the onset of CMT George has continued a career in computer technology, started a small business, pursued interests in art and photography, married, contributed his knowledge and experience to others with disabilities, and raised public awareness about disability wherever he goes. George enjoys painting with acrylics. His first mural was about 30 years ago and with the loss of sensation in his fingertips due to CMT and many brushes filled with paint dotting the floor, he found acrylic paint was easier to clean up than oil paint.
