Life and career
Born in California, McCoy's family moved to the east coast, first to
Brandywine River valley and along the coast of Maine, where he found the people and landscapes he took for his subjects.[1]
Upon N.C. Wyeth's death, McCoy and Andrew Wyeth completed a series of murals that N.C. had begun for the
Metropolitan Life Building in New York City.[2]
McCoy worked in
McCoy's works are in the collections of the
Brandywine River Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.[5][1]
Andrew Wyeth recalled McCoy in an interview:
I think I may well have been influenced by his rather somber look at things. There is a brooding quality, a smoldering power in his painting.[6]
