Ode To Andrew Wyeth (Days Of Heaven)

Ode To Andrew Wyeth (Days Of Heaven)
Comments

It was one of my favourite paintings, good job Skylar!

Russell - Thank you! AW is one of my faves, still. A copy of "Christina's World" was in my parent's den for years. The movie "Days of Heaven" revisits this Allusion throughout the film. This image is my composition. (My Neighbor in Hollywood Hills was Brook Adams, the female lead.)

Margaret - Thanks so much!

Nice take on 'Christina'. Never seen the original just the sketches (in Japan!). Your picture has a similar tension. What's the medium you used?

Hi, Willie - Thanks for your comments. As is Most of what I post, this is Digital Oil paints. (ArtRage5.)

I went to the "An American Vision" exhibition of works by all 3 Wyeth's in Cambridge back in the 80's. It was amazing. I have an old book by Mary Johnstone from 1911 with some plates of N.C Wyeth's ACW paintings. I love N.C's commercial work just as much as Andrew's paintings. A nice rendition of a moving work. PS. I used to use ArtRage for scribbling ideas for composition.

An Idea I had to use the Movie "Days of Heaven" to mirror Wyeth's "Christina's World"
