Abstract

Thriller on Canvas tells the tales of classic mystery, suspense, and horror. This volume includes stories of three of Jamie Wyeth’s paintings brought to life including: “The Red House,” an island with its own lore; “New Year’s Calling,” the story of two wealthy sisters; and “Hill Girt Farm,” an exploration of psychological torture. All bound in one collection, the central question remains: Is any of this true? Or is the story of what you see on the canvas up to the viewer?
