I knew that the person who painted "Christina's World" was from Maine, but I didn't know the house in the painting was a real house that is still standing. That's pretty neat.

Jennifer, you can go and visit the site where Christina Olsen and her brother lived. It's a salt water farm. The rooms are set up just as they were when Christina lived there too. Andrew Wyeths son lives in Maine now. He is a painter too. He lives on a Maine island, in an old lighthouse. Pretty cool.

I've never seen this painting before, but it's beautiful! It reminds me of my Great Grandmother's old farmhouse in Falmouth.

Hey Angel!
I have contacted WGME about the video. When I get an answer about the clip I will post it here. Thank you for reporting it! Perhaps they do not keep the videos posted. In the mean time, please take the time to look at the Surrealist artist I posted. I know you will love this work! I thought of you when I posted that spot.
