Andrew Wyeth

There are three things that led me to post about Andrew Wyeth today...
1. i love art. i wanted to be a painter for a long time.
2. I feel as though the season of Autumn is a character in Andrew's paintings. fall always makes me want to flip through my andrew wyeth books.
3. i found "Christina's World" Framed at a thrift store last week and almost screamed.

i could have posted a million of his paintings but just chose a few, i hope you enjoy them...
this is the one i just thrifted... (below)

My very favorites are "the Helga Pictures" a large volume of work that he painted inspired by his neighbor. "For a decade and a half, Wyeth chonicled this one woman with passionate intensity and artistry. She appears in all moods and all seasons--wrapped in sheepskin, crowned with wildflowers, lying among autumn leaves..." -Harry Abrams

the man himself.
