Portrait of Autumn – Wyeth Walk #204

“This painting of apples…is a portrait of autumn. Subdued. Russet colors. Deep crimson of the apples… I wanted it to be a free interpretation… I like to be surprised when I pick up a tube. It makes the process more exciting, frees it. When I squeeze, I get this revelation of the color that comes out. It’s accidental, but it’s an accident that I take advantage of.” – Andrew Wyeth (about ‘Half Bushel’)
