Nobody here from the first few posts...said anything..about his and her life.

I'm not shocked...really. Just kinda sad....

I've been here on FR for many years now...

I've seen many things in my 20 years here...

I grew up very near Chadd’s Ford and know many of the places Wyeth painted. I agree with him that there’s something about a Winter landscape.

i didn’t know anything about her really- I think she kept his collection together in a gallery/home but other than that i didn’t know much about her- i only studied his works, and read only a little about his life many many moons ago- not much- some interesting notes about when he was getting into the art world-

Here is a lovely tribute to her, done by her granddaughter. I was at the museum in early March. Truly beautiful.

Cannot read the article. Loved the Wyeths. Glad she is at peace now.
