Jamie Wyeth Paint Quotations

Everything I paint is a portrait, whatever the subject.

I have continued to paint; my father - who was savaged by the critics - continued to paint until practically the last week of his life.

The things that I paint are things that I know very well.

I mostly paint animals I'm familiar with, but I did a series of paintings of ravens, so I read everything about them.

I'm a very boring person, and all I do is want to paint and to record what I feel moves me or what interests me, and that can be in the form of a pig or in the form of President Kennedy.

I began drawing when I was nearly 3, and after finishing the sixth grade, I left school to paint and was tutored at home. My father didn't think a formal education was necessary for a painter.
