Wyeth Walks

Catherine Marie Charlton is composing piano-based works inspired by the Wyeth family of artists. As part of the composing process she is establishing a regular practice that Andrew Wyeth did every day - go for a good old fashioned walk.

“I often look at my work in the dark, with maybe a moon outside, to enjoy it for the abstract quality.” -Andrew Wyeth Wyeth Walk no. 451 October 19, 2018 #wyethwalk #andrewwyeth #artquotes #lifeisbeautiful #intheflow #wyethalbum #forestbathing #fullmoon #surprise https://www.instagram.com/cmcriverdawn/p/BpLMRd1hyZN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14i1rjops1tfb

After 450 #wyethwalk posts and the release of the #wyethalbum, I’m feeling like it’s time for my photo walks to have a new life and new intentions. I’d like to start a new series, except I don’t know what to call it! Any suggestions? I’ll start with this morning’s walk- February 5, 2018, Chester County PA, temp 31F. Lots of ice! In the past I’ve only ever posted one photo of the day, but today I wanted to share more from the experience. I had dropped the kids off at school after letting them sleep in a bit and miss the bus (Yay Eagles!). On my way home from school I stopped by my favorite walk. Luckily I had hiking boots on. Unluckily, I hadn’t planned this stop and didn’t have proper hat or gloves. Was coooolllldddd, so I walked faster than usual. Still managed to find some peaceful moments though, indeed. #wonderwalk #slowwalking #onebootatatime #chaddsford #kennettsquare #intothewoods #winterintospring #naturelovers

Right after I snapped this, my phone powered down in the cold and I couldn’t capture the image I wanted of the resilient water trickle shimmering through the ice. Was beautiful!!! And cold... can’t believe is was 65F thirty hours before this walk. #wyethwalk 446 January 14, 2017 Chester County, PA, temp 17F #brandywinevalley #hikepa #pennsylvaniaisbeautiful #mychurch
