He lives in summer in Cushing, about 20 miles from here. There is a marvelous collection of paintings by Andrew and Jamie, as well as the father, N.C. Wyeth, at the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. It is 8 miles south of Camden. Both Andrew and Jamie are often seen at the Farnsworth, checking out their exhibits. We had guests last year who came here specifically to see Andrew's 80th Birthday Exhibit which had a large percentage of his best work. They found themselves looking at a painting with none other than Andrew Wyeth himself and he gave them a tour of the whole exhibit, explaining each of his paintings. They said it was the highlight of their entire lives. We can't guarantee that he'll give tours to everyone.
