I have a Wyeth book somewhere, the paintings always mesmerized me.

That red gash in the painting is an actual splinter of wood that came off of the panel and I couldn’t sand it smooth

Wait what did u try sanding I’m curious

Is this from Slavic folklore?

You mean you don't?

I once saw this house kill 3 people. With a pencil.

a heat protection for the Dino’s neck would be a good idea.

Wow, i want this piece of art soooo bad!! Amazing

So, u still believe it’s possible for snakes to talk? and women created from the ribs of man?

Those toys were awesome and I'm frankly shocked more hasn't been done with the IP. I thought it was on national television. Crazy people don't remember it but I guess there were a LOT of cartoons and toys back then.

Interesting bit from Wikipedia:

A scene in the 1994 film Forrest Gump was inspired by the painting. When Jenny returns home, she throws herself on the ground and mirrors Olson's pose in reverse.

I love the soft feeling it has

Oh my God Reddit needs to know so much more about these books, I learned to read because my family got me a copy of the world beneath and it endlessly fascinated my young mind.

Longboy!! /r/wow players will know..

I was able to see a Wyeth exhibit in the Denver Art Museum a few years ago and their markmaking is absolutely insane. Great use of abstract effects to create realistic composition.

I saw this in person on a high school field trip to the art museum. I spent so much time staring at this painting. Still can’t place what it was that I liked about it. Digital copies have never held me or captured my attention in the same way as viewing it in person did. Art museums are the best.

He got the idea by seeing Anna Olson in the field, but his wife was the model for the painting
