Get Your Own Wyeth Exclusive


CORRECTION: I am such a lunkhead. I originally had the date of the signing wrong in this post -- the correct date is July 19. Sorry for any inconvenience. Now, onto the corrected post.

Who wouldn't want a signed Wyeth?

As in artist Jamie Wyeth, who will sign copies of the exhibition catalogue for his "Dog Days of Summer: Works by Jamie Wyeth," on display through Sept. 3 at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pa.

Wyeth, the subject of a story in the current issue of Delaware Pets and a true dog lover, will sign the catalogues from 1-3 p.m. July 19. The book signing is free with museum admission ($8 for adults; $5 for seniors, students and ages 6-12; free for children 5 and younger and Brandywine Conservancy members).

Copies of the catalogue are $24.95 (soft cover), plus tax, at the museum shop or online. The exhibit includes more than 60 paintings and drawings of dogs -- some of which were owned by Wyeth -- over a three-decade period.

"I paint dogs not because they're cute and cuddly," Wyeth told writer Carol Kipp for Delaware Pets, "but because they're available models."

On the afternoon of July 19, Jamie Wyeth will be available to you.
