The passing of a great artist.

It is with tears in my eyes that I type that Andrew Wyeth has left this world early this morning. He was an amazing man and will be greatly missed by art lovers around the globe.
That's all I can write now.

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show."

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

"I'm a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me."

"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."

"I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. I see no reason for painting beyond that."


See you on the other side.
