God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
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 think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it the whole story doesn't show.

What you have to do is break all the rules.

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

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