"ANDREW WYETH'S BASKET"


This is the No. 155 painting in my 365/2010 series.
Title: "ANDREW WYETH'S BASKET"
Size: App. 15X21 inches
Medium: Watercolor on 90lb. student grade watercolor, cold press paper.
Yes, this was hanging in Wyeth's Garage when I got the GREAT privilege of touring his home place at the Brandywine Old Mill in Chadds Ford, Pa. back in the early 80's.
George the care taker, (Watch for his portrait later) gave us a fantastic tour of everything because I had the guts to pass through the NO TRESPASSING signs and all the way to the house to tell him that I had come a long way to see Andrew. It was an amazing day. Andrew had left the day before heading to Cushing Maine. So that's where arni headed next.
Did not get to meet him. Did talk to him on the phone thought.
