Quote

I think a person permeates a spot, and a lost presence makes the environment timeless to me, keeps an area alive. It pulsates because of that.

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.

Image
I get letters from people about my work. The thing that pleases me most is that my work touches their feelings. In fact, they don't talk about the paintings. They end up telling me the story of their life or how their father died.

Image
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.

Image
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.

When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.

God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!

Image
I had whooping cough when I was very young, which left me with bronchial problems, and I would always pick up colds. I was very thin and nervous so my father and mother took me out of school and had me tutored at home.
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.

Image
My pencil is like a fencer's foil.

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.

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

Image
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.

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

Image
I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad.

My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
