Image
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I don't really have studios. I wander around - around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
With watercolour, you can pick up the atmosphere, the temperature, the sound of snow shifting through the trees or over the ice of a small pond or against a windowpane. Watercolour perfectly expresses the free side of my nature.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
Most artists look for something fresh to paint frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I've tried never to be easily satisfied, and I've been painting like fury now for forty years.... I have a feeling. You paint about as far as your emotions go, and that's about it.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I surrender to the world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
What you have to do is break all the rules.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I wanted to get it all down, maybe out of my system. I wanted to be able to say, Everything's possible-if you believe and can get excited.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I'm not at all interested in painting the object just as it is in nature. Certainly I'm much more interested in the mood of a thing than the truth of a thing.
