Yesterday, Sunday, October 20, 2013, Linda and I visited the Brandywine Museum Art Center in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. It was a perfect autumn day, the colors of autumn all around us. We had been to this museum in 1991 and knew someday we would return. As part of our tour we viewed the works of the Wyeth's then rode a small tour van to visit the home and studio of Andrew Wyeth. We went from there to Carl Kurner's farm a few miles away.
It was an extremely emotional time for me to see those two locations. Andrew is my hero, I have followed his career since the early '60's, I admire his works greatly. What a moving experience it was to be exactly where he was, where he worked all those years,to see the images he created from that very spot, to see the tools and materials of one of America's finest artists. It was a trip to Mecca for me, I shall long remember yesterday.
