IMPRINT ON MY HEART

Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnj_MBfSZKs if you want to travel through the years that Andrew Wyeth painted. The Speed Museum in Louisville had an awesome display about ten years ago of his family's work. The show was incredible, but Andrew's work was breathtakingly stunning. It left me speechless. I could have stayed there and let his artwork pour into my eyes forever. I could have crawled inside the paint and lived there. It was so beautiful and really overwhelmed my emotions big time.

Getting to see some of the Helga paintings was a huge highlight in my life, and I will never forget the impact his work had on me. The depth of emotion that he could paint with............. He sure left an imprint on my heart.

He told his granddaughter a few years ago that he no longer gave interviews..... since everything he had to say was hanging on walls. He was a master who truly knew how to convey emotion with expert technique and had paid his dues to get there. The world is forever richer because he was here.

UPDATE: My friend, Dawn, just sent another site with other Wyeths on it well worth seeing at http://web.me.com/grainne2/Art_Appreciation/Art_Appreciation.html . Some are watercolor and some egg tempera.
