Wyeth home and studio, perhaps thirty years ago, but there was an older woman in the group who carried a small packaged wrapped in brown paper under her arm until near the end of the tour when she asked if she could show the tour guide something. It was a small framed painting by N. C. Wyeth of her husband and Andrew Wyeth as children, dressed in N. C.’s old costumes. He painted them as they were playing “dress-up” in his studio. I’ve often wished I could hear the “end of the story.” I hope she and her descendants are enjoying owning an N. C. Wyeth original.

I think he might have been 12 or around that age.<br /><br />Has anyone read anything about NC's life and his relationship with his family? It's very strange indeed.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014751431677271423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-20823762098090523432010-05-15T11:28:40.357-04:002010-05-15T11:28:40.357-04:00I would love to visit Wyeth's studio sometime....I would love to visit Wyeth's studio sometime... he is one of the best illustrators ever. I wonder if his great treatment of window light (which you mentioned last post) in his indoor scenes was due to the fact he spent so much time painting in that light environment before it was electrified.
