Really enjoyed this book. Should be on anybody's Rev250 reading list.
The American Revolution was not only fought militarily in the colonies, artists also played an integral role. In 'The Painter’s Fire' Dr. Zara Anishanslin highlights the intertwined lives of three of them: Robert Edge Pine, Prince Demah and Patience Wright.

Patience Wright was born a Quaker in Oyster Bay, Nassau Co., on Long Island. She had a talent for sculpting and her medium was the wax figure.

Look at these very patriotic letterpress posters! Perfect for #Rev250 which starts this weekend with the Leslies Retreat Reenactment in #salemma. I just ordered--they won't be here tomorrow or I would have carried one around all day but I'll find many occasions to wave around and places to post.
