Andrew Wyeth said, “I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.”
For some reason Wyeth's work inspires me to sew. I want to make garments inspired by these paintings.
There is something haunting about Wyeth's work, stark and beautiful, for me it represents a perfect balance of romance and realism, the single coin of joy and sadness. This last painting, for example, 'Snow Hill" is one part winter celebration and one part reflection on a life lived and an impending death.
I went running early this AM, a half hour after the eclipse ended on the morning of the winter solstice during the first snow of the year. It was a hard run and that always make me reflective as does the solitude of Winter and the comfort of a blanket of snow. Today it inspired me to think about Wyeth to look up these paintings and to think about the life we create while we are here, while really I'm supposed to be updating the blog with the shop's holiday hours. I got distracted.
