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.

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.

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.
