One of My Favorite Paintings

Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth

UPDATE: I used to think Christina was sitting out in the field looking at her small world and longing for something new/different/larger. Actually, she cannot use her legs and scoots wherever she goes. Christina was a real young woman that Wyeth knew and decided make a subject of a painting.

Looking back, my interpretation was certainly a projection of my own longing to move from the small town I grew up in and experience a larger world than I knew at the time. Art is so evocative!
