I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there.

More quotes by Andrew Wyeth
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.
Andrew Wyeth
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
Andrew Wyeth
I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
Andrew Wyeth
God, I've frozen my ass off painting snow scenes!
Andrew Wyeth
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
The most irritating experience for an artist is to have his work criticized before it is finished.
Andrew Wyeth
My struggle is to preserve that abstract flash - like something you caught out of the corner of your eye, but in the picture you can look at it directly.
Andrew Wyeth
Don't overdo it, don't underdo it. Do it just on the line.
Andrew Wyeth
When you lose your simplicity, you lose your drama.
Andrew Wyeth
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.
Andrew Wyeth
To have all your life's work and to have them along the wall, it's like walking in with no clothes on. It's terrible.
Andrew Wyeth
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
Andrew Wyeth
It's a shock for me to go through and see all those years of painting my life, which is very personal for me. It's a very difficult thing for an artist to look back at his work.
Andrew Wyeth
What you have to do is break all the rules.
Andrew Wyeth
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.
Andrew Wyeth
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work to leave no residue of technical mannerisms to stand between my expression and the observer. To seek freedom through significant form and design rather than through the diversion of so-called free and accidental brush handling.
Andrew Wyeth
Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
Andrew Wyeth
And, of course, I began drawing so much - wild, undisciplined pencil drawings and watercolors of knights battling and such.
Andrew Wyeth
It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
Andrew Wyeth
I don't think that there is anything that is really magical unless it has a terrifying quality.
Andrew Wyeth
