CELEBRIS REPORT Associated Press In this May 1985 photo, American artist Andrew Wyeth poses with his wife Betsy at an unknown location in front of his paintings “The Patriot,” left, and “Maga’s Daughter” for which Betsy was the model. Betsy James Wyeth, the widow, business manager and muse of painter Andrew Wyeth, died Tuesday, April 21, at age 98, according to the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pa., which she helped found. Widow and muse of painter Wyeth dies at 98 Betsy James Wyeth, the widow, busi ness manager and muse of painter Andrew Wyeth, died Tuesday at age 98, according to the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, which she helped found. She was a guiding force throughout her husband’s career, documenting and pro moting his work and the legacy of a family that included book illustrator N.C. Wyeth, her father-in-law, and painter Jamie Wyeth, her son. After the former’s death, she compiled and edited “The Wyeths: The Letters of N. C. Wyeth, 1901-1945,” a book that led to a reassessment of his career. In 1976 she published the first book on her husband’s work, “Wyeth at Kuerners,” followed by “Christina’s World” in 1982. Betsy James met Andrew Wyeth in Maine, where their families lived, and mar ried him a year later, in 1940. They divided their time between coastal Maine and the sloping hills of Chadds Ford in southeastern Pennsylvania, the landscapes he captured in his muted, often melancholy paintings. He died in 2009. Speaking to biographer Richard Mery- man in 1966, Andrew Wyeth said his wife “made me see more clearly what I wanted.” “Betsy galvanized me at the time I needed it,” Wyeth said. “She’s made me into a painter that I would not have been otherwise.” Early in their marriage, Betsy Wyeth introduced her husband to neighbor Chris tina Olson, who became the subject of his 1948 series, “Christina’s World.” In the early 1970s, she helped turn a 19th-century gristmill into the Brandywine River Museum, providing a public home for hundreds of pieces by three generations of the family. The museum plans to honor Betsy Wyeth, when it reopens after the COVID- 19-related shutdown, with an exhibit of 18 works her husband made depicting her over the years. Betsy Wyeth died at home in Chadds Ford after several years of declining health, a family spokesperson told The Philadelphia Inquirer. She is also survived by another son, Nicholas, an art dealer, and a granddaughter. Associated Press ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

How can I get my friends to pitch in on plan-making? Dear Carolyn: I wonder if you can help me sort out the hurt and anger I have come to feel in some of my friendships. I find myself often being the initiator for getting together with my peers. In general I’m a leader type, confident, extro verted. I typically reach out first when I want to see some one or talk. But I get tired of my role as the initiator. So then I go quiet, sometimes for many weeks, and... don’t hear from some of my friends, then miss them, want to see them, and... I cave, and initiate coffee, drinks at my house, or a walk. Nearly always my overtures are reciprocated; I believe they are genuinely glad to hear from me. I don’t do most social media, so I under stand I am choosing not to be as present in those ways. Even though I am a happily married woman with children, I may crave more friend time than my peer group. Or maybe I just go after what I want or need. One of my single friends jokingly refers to me as her “other single friend” because I do my own thing, not just the family stuff. Do I just suck it up and accept that I’m the initiator? — Initiator Yes. This is your skill, your strength, your contribution to your friendships. Your friends contribute, too, in ways that reflect their strengths — because if they gave you nothing, then you wouldn’t miss them and keep them as your friends, right? Maybe you’re fortunate to count a great listener among your people. Maybe there’s one who never initiates but always shows up — for you, for others, for anyone. With an appetizer. Maybe you have one or two who are utterly unreliable except in their ability to make you laugh or open your eyes to a perspective that would otherwise never have occurred to you. Maybe there are a few who never fail to stay late and help clean up. Maybe you have an optimist to lift you up. Maybe you have a pessimist who gets tilings don’t always happen for a reason. So, yes, even though your complaint is valid, you suck it up — though embracing the current distribution of labor among your companions would be even better. It’s fair and understandable to want your friends to give you what you so reliably give to them. And if you think it would be of any use, then confide in one or three of them that you’d like someone to pinch-hit for you occasionally on mak ing plans. Maybe there’s no objection, only inertia, all they need is a nudge. But it’s also more reliable to find solu tions built from your status quo. That includes acknowledging that your friends don’t always give you what you want but that you do still want what they give. Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Wed.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you feel that a relationship has an imbalance of power, shore up the difference. There are many different ways to ac count for power and points of leverage that are not immedi ately obvious. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll fill needs that people didn’t even realize they had. It’s also possible that you create need by providing something very interesting and getting people used to having it in their lives. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re like a hybrid car today, except you’ll toggle between more than two kinds of fuel to keep your wheels spinning. Energy sources may be emo tional, inspirational, nutritional and caffeinated. CANCER (June 22-July22). Among the most primal body language cues for engendering trust and projecting charisma is the often-overlooked show of hands — open palmed, proving the lack of a rook or spear. Use this and make a friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Trying to change too many habits at once almost always fails, especially if the environment stays the same. Your winning move involves taking on one behavioral change at a time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When things seem harder than they should be, figure out why. Ask, “How can I make this easier?” You might be surprised at how a few decisions can change the whole game. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Don’t ask other people for green lights. Green lights don’t work that way. Usually, they are on timers. And often, when you hit one, you’ll start to hit them all. Or you can always take the backroads. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s fortifying to spend time with people who appreciate you or to spend time doing the things that really make you appreci ate yourself. The opposite is detrimental. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As much as you’d like to release something into your past, it’s not going to happen until you’re really ready. Accept your emotions. Feeling them fully is part of becoming ready. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relationships don’t fix the problems of individuals, though they may distract from those problems or cloak them in a different garb. Each indi vidual must ultimately solve for their own soul. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You sense when people aren’t telling the whole truth, but you often don’t press the issue out of a respect for privacy or a realization that there’s little to gain by making people un comfortable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your positive attitude is grounded in this: Everyone is capable of improving. So whether a person is innately talented or disadvantaged is really beside the point and cer tainly not worth dwelling on.
