I visited Maine for the first time in 1980 and soon discovered the work of American Artist Andrew Wyeth. He has influenced the way I visualize rustic subject matter. Wyeth made the Olson House famous through his paintings, most notably, Christina’s World. I especially admire his early watercolors and his fluid/splashy studies. Mr. Wyeth had a fascination with the Olson house and its occupants. I can understand why—some mystical force draws me there every time I visit Maine.
