I also have been to the Brandywine museum when I was in collage in Philadelphia. I was actually a bigger fan of NC Wyeth at the time. And I still am but I have grown a lot since my days as a inspiring illustrator. I live in New England and spend most of my time between Connecticut and Massachusetts so it is a long drive now.
I used Andrew Wyeth as a example of a painter that just painted not as one that painted only portraits or landscapes or still lifes. I may be stretching the term still life some but, like I said, I do not much care for staged still lifes as a subject (the bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers).
I do not know him (Andrew) personally but what I do know about him and his father and their work leads me to believe that it is more about what artist are drawn to on a personal level that tends to guide their work more then their skill at painting a subject.
