"Around the Corner" by Andrew Wyeth; My all time favorite American painter.

Update: Andrew Wyeth passed away January 16th May he rest in peace.
A favorite quote: "Really, I think one's art goes only as far and as deep as your love goes," Wyeth said in a Life magazine interview in 1965."I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future — the timelessness of the rocks and the hills — all the people who have existed there," he once said. "I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape — the loneliness of it — the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.
I think anything like that — which is contemplative, silent, shows a person alone — people always feel is sad. Is it because we've lost the art of being alone?"
