George “Frolic” Weymouth continued the American realist tradition of the Wyeth family through his painted landscapes of the Brandywine valley and portraiture. As a youth at St. Mark’s School in Massachusetts, he pursued his serious interest in painting under artist and teacher, Kleber Hall. While a student at St. Mark’s, Weymouth, whose family was close friends with N.C. Wyeth, was introduced to Andrew Wyeth, who encouraged Weymouth’s use of the tempera medium. Following his art training at Yale he returned to Wilmington and was married for several years to Anna Brelsford McCoy, herself an artist and daughter of Ann and John McCoy. Inspired by the art of the extended Wyeth family, Weymouth made egg tempera his primary medium. Weymouth’s paintings demonstrate a broad artistic range, with detailed renderings and palpable senses of light and mood. He also painted many international prominent subjects such as Prince Phillip; his portrait hangs in Windsor Castle.
Weymouth was also the founder and chairman of the Brandywine Museum of Art and Conservancy until his death in 2016.
