I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth; and then I can fly free.Andrew Wyeth

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

"I don't really have studios. I wander around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me."

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