A rainy day

This afternoon it started to rain, and there was no way to see another intended garden, so we did the next best thing; we visited the Brandywine River Museum which houses works by Andrew Wyeth, son Jamie Wyeth and several others.  The painter Andrew Wyeth grew up here in Chadds Ford, the youngest of the five children of illustrator and artist N.C. (Newell Convers) Wyeth (illustrator of Treasure Island and Last of the Mohicans, to name only a few) and his wife, Carolyn Bockius Wyeth. He was the brother of inventor Nathaniel Wyeth and artist Henriette Wyeth Hurd, and the father of Nicholas Wyeth and artist Jamie Wyeth. Andrew was home-tutored because of his frail health, and learned art from his father, who inspired his son's love of rural landscapes, sense of romance, and a feeling for Wyeth family history and artistic traditions.
It was very inspiring, and I realized that I had never seen any of the exhibited paintings.

After getting home to Winnie's place, we got stuck into comfort food and sour cherry pie.

I think this will be an early night.
