Today is the birthday of Newell Convers Wyeth (October 22, 1882 – October 19, 1945), the great American illustrator and artist who was the patriarch of the Wyeth dynasty of artists.
Self-portrait, 1940
Let’s enjoy some of his famous (and less famous) illustrations.
There are just so many great ones!
And here’s a place I’m adding to my bucket list: the Brandywine River Museum in Chadd’s Ford, PA. After all, it’s just a hop, skip and a jump from Maryland.

NC Wyeth is one of my absolute favs! He has a really nice name too 😊
Yes, I think he must be a distant relative.
Wonderful pictures!! A toast to NCW…
