One of the greats. He'll be missed. Still very active with his painting up until the very end. I go to the Brandywine Museum in Chadd's Ford, PA, every once in awhile.  Last year,when he was 90 he completed a real beautiful painting of a motorcyclist, and another, a self-portrait which says it all.  Shows him sitting with wind-blown snow in front of a brick farm house...likely the one you see in a lot of his paintings.  I have jpgs of these...if I can figure a way to post 'em I will.  I know you're not supposed to snap pix at the gallery, but I take quickies on occasion with my cell phone.  Rest in Peace, Andrew.
