Great lecture on New Jersey's historic women painters


Sunday at the Burlington County Historical Society was very interesting.  They actually have on display one of the paintings described by the speaker, so you could go up close and see the details.

The lecture was called Sunsets to Sheep and described the lives and works of half a dozen  notable artists from New Jersey including wax sculptor Patience Wright, and Lily Martin Spencer to name just two.

The detail above is from the painting on display at the Burlington County Historical Museum.
