James Reid Pringle (1782-1840)

This is a family name from my Dad's mom's mom. I'm not bragging but the Pringles are front row in  St. Stephens and St. Micheals graveyards. Charleston has some cool graveyards. If you ever go, the best one is Magnolia Cemetery, just north of the city in "the Neck" (I have people there too) and the next best one is the Unitarian Graveyard, down Gateway Walk, from King Street. My mom used to live on  the Walk and my daughter and I played there a lot. It has a beautiful garden setting which is very old and overgrown. I have people in the James Island Cemetery at the end of Harbor View Road too. This painting was done in 2013 and is sold.

Anna Claypoole Peale (1791-1898)

Anna was a Philly girl and my favorite American miniature painter from the family of painters, the Peale's. She  sold her first paintings, copies of French landscapes, at the age of fourteen. She had her first major exhibition when she was just twenty and was in the first exhibition at PAFA where she continued to show for many years. Go girl. This portrait of  was complete in 2013. And is sold.

John Ellis Wool (1784-1869)

John Wool was an officer in the US Army during three consequent wars:The War of 1812, The Mexican-American War and The Civil War. He had over fifty years of service and seems like a great guy, very high principled. This painting was complete in 2013. NA.

Catherine Brass Yates

Mrs. Richard Yates, Catherine,is simply known as the wife of a NY businessman. I read also that she is a Philadelphia socialite. Maybe she is both. The original painting is by Gilbert Stuart, complete in 1794, and is considered on of the finest American portraits of its time. This one, complete in 2013 by me, is also one of the finest American portraits of its time, lol. Yeah, I said that. Sold, duh.

Unknown Woman with Curls

The origin of the portrait is unknown. I just love the somewhat contemporary and plain way that she looks. Clearly she is 24 years old like the can says. Complete 2013.
NA.

Edwin Shippen Burd (1744-1859)

Married Eliza Sims, had two daughters, traveled, lived in a three story brick house on the north side of Walnut Street, in Philadelphia, between 9th and 10th Streets, friends with Joseph Bonaparte, has a monument in Saint Stephens churchyard, founded an orphans asylum, later called The Burd's Scool for Girls, and so on. He is listed in the Provincial History of Pennsylvania. He is almost pretty, I think. This painting was completed in 2013. NA.

James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart (1833-1864)

Jeb Stuart was a US Army officer from Virginia and a Confederate States Army General during the American Civil War. He was a legendary figure and is considered one of the greatest Calvary commanders in American history. He died young but lived a crazy interesting life. Look him up. Complete, 2013 and not available.
