Daily Posting Month and Andrew Wyeth

Andrew Wyeth, Memory & Magic, Knutson, 2008

If you haven't noticed, I am posting daily for a month. Tracy Helgeson did this recently, and I am now up to the challenge. Since May 11th., I have posted about all things that interest me, as well as some of my new River Series works. More of those to follow soon, as I actually have eleven photographed.

I picked up Andrew Wyeth, Memory & Magic, Knutson, 2008, at a bookstore today. I was challenged by Wyeth's recent art (which I saw in a few of his obituary articles), and am interested in his view of things.

Some thoughts from this collection of art and essays are:

• I like Wyeth's very spare take on waterways.
  
• His usage of black and white paint is interesting.
  
• I have much to learn from his subject choices.
  
• Wyeth's vision hangs together well.
  
• Wyeth is an important American painter, in my opinion.
  
• His rendering of the grass and ground is very intriguing - he often has a pathway like a deer trail running through.

My post about Wyeth's recent passing is here.
