Me too. The You Tube videos are perfect...have a cup of coffee and watch the Wyeth family. Jamie seems to have been a bit of an eccentric. Maybe the whole family were! I think that all artists are, their art drives them to be rather single-…
I've never read the book but this is a famous illustration for sure. I've seen it quite a few times. That is a fantastic picture. I don't remember the character (long time since I read the book) but I do love the painting. I loved Treasure
I love this painting. You really find some interesting work Nat. I was a tad confused when you wrote NC I immediately thought North Carolina, duuh. Interesting that all three of these men became artists. Our son-in-law paints but not one of…
I've heard of the Taos art colony. New Mexico has always attracted a more arty type crowd, in Taos and Santa Fe. I hope to visit them someday. Hi Nat - first I hope you're feeling better .. I wanted to have time to read this .. and I hope y…
Well, that was a lot of fancy words to dress up a very brutal policy. No chance of integrating the natives into the new society instead of "removing" them? Sounds like the five civilised tribes were on the way there... They were but greed t…

Hudson River School art is definitely my fave. I saw a wonderful exhibit at the Tacoma Art Museum about 12 years ago, and I saw some at the Portland (Maine) Art Museum in the 80s too. The paintings are gorgeous and HUGE. Thanks, T.P.C. I ha…
My class of 10 year olds over here in the U.K. researched Geronimo as part of their topic on Native Americans and then wrote poetry based on his life - the undoubted feelings they had got from him were ones of strength, never giving up on w…
That painting looks like a photograph. I love it. This is one of my favorites. It's beautiful but harsh at the same time. Love the dogs following along and the colors are masterful. I love it too. It does preserve a way of life which has to…
I never heard of him. Now that I have, I would like to see more of his art. Thanks for stopping by. His later work becomes more impressionistic, then abstract. I had not heard of him either, Inger, until I decided on the theme for the chall…
