Unlike celebrated Brother Andrew or her father, Illustrator N.C. Wyeth, or Nephew Jamie, a high-priced painter at 32, Carolyn has rarely shown her works. "I hate fame," she says. "I hate money." But at age 69, she seems to be courting both. A retrospective of her paintings (priced between $6,500 and $12,000) is now on display at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford...
