Great site, Lee! I had seen some of those images before, but not in that format. The shots of Lightning Flat are wonderful, despite the eerie loneliness to the place.

Yes, I can see both those things too!
I have a not-exactly Andrew Wyeth story. Years ago (late 70s?-early 80s?) I was standing in a record store waiting to pay for my purchases. The man in front of me pulled out his credit card, and (without meaning to, honest!) I saw his name on the card "Jamie Wyeth." "Oh, Wyeth," I blurted, "Any relation to Andrew Wyeth?" He gave me what I thought was an unfriendly smile, and said simply, "Yes."
Several years later, I discovered, through reading, that he was a) Andrew Wyeth's son, and b) quite a famous painter himself. I then re-interpreted that moment with him: His irritation with me in retrospect seemed to be about "still in my father's god damned shadow..."

At any rate, thank you for sharing, and let your boyfriend know how much he is appreciated here.

Thank you, I will tell him! I have seen some paintings of Wyeth on the internet, they are really amazing!

I saw most of the pictures of Lightning Flat, but not the ones from Brokeback and Devil's tower... Those snow scooters look like fun! Thanks for posting that link, Lee!

Well, he could've been a bit more friendly about it! Does he paint in the same style as his father?
