andrew wyeth passes...

thinking about the long consequential career of andrew wyeth. My route to painting in Maine came about with less ineluctable precision than that of wyeth. i sort of blundered into maine. in the midst of a hideously overheated july ...in manhattan, i came upon a book of photographs of Eliot Porter....mostly of his family home on great spruce island in the middle of penobscot bay. The light bulb over my head went off! "i gotta get outta this place"!...well, a decade or so later, i've found myself living in Blue Hill, Maine and working out of a studio on Moose Lane...with a beautiful view of penobscot bay....
