Wyeth's "Patriot," was a well-known mid-coast Maine man named Ralph Cline, who served in France during World War I. In the years after that painting was done, Ralph would appear in that same uniform at local Memorial Day celebrations and read the poem Flander's Fields:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place: and in the sky

The larks still bravely singing fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved: and now we lie

In Flanders fields!

Take up our quarrel with the foe

To you, from failing hands, we throw

The torch: be yours to hold it high

If ye break faith with us who die,

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields

Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915

during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium

I like to be a fine art painter How can I motivated to work on your own solitary?

The motivation to create art in any form is something that comes from deep inside you - something you are compelled to express. If you require solitude to create, you are not alone among artists who can become obsessed with what they are doing to the exclusion of everything else. Or you could be Toulouse Lautrec and have a fine time painting the French dancing girls! If it is in you, it will come out but you still have to eat and have a roof over your head.
