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 dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.

If it [talent] isn’t strong enough to take the gaff of real training, then it’s not worth much.

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.
