Andrew Wyeth

Andrew Wyeth was an artist hero of mine. I liked his point of view and his work. I like the fact that he made his art, no matter what critics said . Andrew Wyeth was his own man, I like independent artists , I happen to be one . I work on what interests me art wise. I was fortunate enough in my early art career to be able to see over two hundred original Wyeth paintings and drawings.
I went to the Chicago Art Institute, by train overnight in 1966 to see the exhibition. It was one of my art pilgrimages, the other, was to see the work of Henry O. Tanner.
The public outvoted the critics and I for one, am very glad.
LONG LIVE ANDREW WYETH!!!!!!
