Andrew Wyeth is an American realist painter whose favourite subjects include the land and people around his hometown of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and those near his summer home in Cushing, Maine.
Helga Testorf was acting as a caregiver for one of Wyeth's friends when the two met in the early 1970s. As they became friends she agreed to pose for him. These are the paintings.
Lovely, aren't they?

they are actually quite stunning, and a bit haunting. I enjoy them.
