I used to live not far from the Brandywine River Museum in PA where the great Wyeth collection lives--and I always love to get there when I can. Andrews watercolors inspired me to observe the finer details of nature more closely and with more reverence...

I think of fall as beautiful but also as a harbinger of death, so my feelings for it are not without ambivalence.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-57085506482221872582009-10-15T21:38:56.963-04:002009-10-15T21:38:56.963-04:00kath: Thanks so much from coming over from lovely ...kath: Thanks so much from coming over from lovely Christina's page!<br /><br />m.heart: Thank you, my friend!<br /><br />Melissa: Somehow I knew you'd be a Wyeth fan, too!<br /><br />Debra: You lucky woman!

I had always loved his work and it was a thrill to meet and chat with him while he fed the horses one morning.
