What a lovely part of the world you live in. I've only been to Maine once, sadly accompanied by friends who had no interest at all in making artistic pilgrimages. maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-83037275481750147912013-12-07T14:44:22.921+00:002013-12-07T14:44:22.921+00:00Mary, I live just a few miles from the Olsen homes...Mary, I live just a few miles from the Olsen homestead in Cushing, Maine. The house is open as a museum during the summer. Andrew Wyeth's grave is located in a small cemetary just across the road. The Olsen house is part of the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, Maine. It is a small jewel of a museum with many paintings by three generations of Wyeths...N.C., Andrew, and Jamie. If you ever visit the coast of Maine, you should be sure to tour the Farnsworth. By the way, when I first saw "Christina's World", I, too, thought Christina was a young woman. There is a great book detailing the painting (called "Christina's World") that was published during the 1980s. I gave a copy of it to my mother (also Christina).
