Label TextFor his friends, Andrew Wyeth illustrated sights seen on his daily walk, drawing them from the perspective from which he saw them. He portrays his impressions here of the fence post as he exits from the woods and journeys across the field. He writes, "It is very odd but I find myself going back to the same places I have walked all my life and getting more and more excited."
