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.

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
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I think you have to use your eyes as well as your emotion, and one without the other just doesn't work
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people I do.

Image
I've never studied the Japanese. That's something that must have crept in there. But the Japanese are my biggest clients. They seem to like the elemental 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.

I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.

Image
It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

Image
Well, being the youngest child and frail, I was left alone a great deal of the time.

Image
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.
