Abstract: DVD cover abstract: Boston in the 1920s. A young East Coast debutante is dating the most eligible bachelor in the world, John D. Rockefeller III. Her future seems set: a dream life in the upper echelons of society. At art school, she meets a young painter from one of the most beautiful places on Earth, the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Their worlds are polar opposites, and their attraction turns their lives upside down. Inspired by a true story, Drawing Home is a universal romance for the ages. Extended abstract: Inspired by the story of Catharine Robb Whyte and Peter Whyte, founders of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, the film depicts their courtship while attending the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston Massachusetts and early years of their marriage in Banff. The film focuses on their painting, managing of Skoki Lodge, their relationships with family, Stoney Nakoda, and artist Carl Rungius, and Peter's subsequent health problems. Catharine Robb Whyte, 1906-1979, was born in 1906 at Concord, Massachusetts and grew up amongst the wealth and creativity of the Robb and Morse families. Peter Whyte, 1905-1966, was born and raised in Banff, Alberta, the son of merchants Dave and Annie White.
