Andrew Wyeth @ the Farnsworth Art Museum

 

After a nearly two week vacation my wife and I rolled back in to town. We planned our trip to avoid any real concentration of people. With the threat of COVID-19 that can be a challenge, but overall we saw some great sights and broadened our horizons, which was much needed.

We hiked, swam and caught some limited cultural events along the way. When we left we were not sure what to expect economically or health wise, but everything seemed to work out. We did expect to acquire more masks and better fitting ones as most places we visited had mandatory mask requirements.

The Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine has an exhibit titled, Andrew Wyeth: Maine Legacy, which was a highlight for me. This exhibition features paintings in watercolor, dry brush and egg tempera, completed during Wyeth's seventy plus years in Maine. This watercolor by Wyeth, titled Walt & Henry, was one of my favorites from our visit. It was painted in 1942.
