Enchanted by the Wyeths

Recently I have rediscovered my love for the Wyeths, a family of artists who have produced work both enduring and magical. I have been doing research for a commission of a painting of a Cherokee woman, and naturally my mind went to N.C. Wyeth’s series of Indian paintings.  From there I was distracted by Jamie Wyeth’s mysterious, lively work, seemingly a mixture between the color and vibrancy of N.C Wyeth’s work and the somber mystery of Andrew Wyeth.  I like the balance.  Check out the work below:

I’ll keep you posted on sketches and more inspiration as I work on this commission.  Long live the Wyeths.
