Seasonal Reflection – Quote of the week – Andrew Wyeth

January 29, 2011 By Jean Wise



“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.”

– Andrew Wyeth

    Not seeing the whole story is usually frustrating but when painted in these words seem more tolerable

    Something waits…hmmmm. I do like the hint of spring coming. But sorry, this southerner loves the warm. 😛

    “Something waits beneath it…” I LOVE that! I’m a sucker for anything that smacks of hope.

    Interesting poem…something does waits beneath the snow I believe it’s a new beginning for the next season.
