6. An Artist that Inspires me… is Andrew Wyeth (1917- 2009) He was an American Realist painter who lived in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and summered in Cushing, Maine. He is a Regionalist and his work is mostly of peaceful, thought provoking nature settings. “Distant Thunder” 1961 reminds me of vacationing in Melody Lake New York when I was a kid. I admire his attention to detail and the symbolism he incorporates into his work.
