Speechless Tuesday

Andrew Wyeth's "Otherworld" is one of my favorite paintings and the desktop background on my new netbook, offered as today's example of something you encounter that renders speech useless.

Farewell Andrew Wyeth

The great American painter Andrew Wyeth died peacefully in his sleep today, abed in his beloved Pennsylvania. His works have been a profound source of encouragement and joy for most of my mature existence and I mourn his passing as I would a dear friend.
