N.C. Wyeth

Virginian – Pilot

I was running down another artist I spotted in the Gab ‘Art Group’, when I ran into this absolutely stunning piece by N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945). Just wonderful. What he does with the clouds, and the man, are just astounding. The father of artist Andrew Wyeth. Needham, Massachusetts. “Two of his notable works were Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island.” Manly stuff. The period he lived and the influences on his career (Howard Pyle, Zane Grey…), were just – unimaginable. An example of something I love about his work is in the picture immediately below. In this case the “white snow” on the tree, and the clouds in the sky, he does something to ‘white’ that is simply wonderful. Just thought I’d share.

Should be titled: ‘Wagon Wench’
The things he does with clouds
‘The Giant’
