A wonderful, wonderful artist. Son of the great NC Wyeth, father of another great artist, Jamie Wyeth. Dead at 91. I'd like to imagine he's reunited with his father right now.

A favorite of mine for 50 years, and yes, I admired the heck out of his dad, too.  AND his son.  AND his sister!  Andrew Wyeth did magic with quiet things, and he did them like no one else.  The curtains blowing in the breeze in the empty room!  R.I.P., Maestro.

Robert, if you don't already own it there's a very nice book which has works from all three Wyeths:

I think you'd enjoy it.
