Been off X too long. If you’re still there, I’m letting you know I have a new book… maybe 2… coming out this year! Stay tuned!
The link to the video (just 4 minutes) of my Boston Tea Party paintings was a bit lost in all the posts yesterday. Here it is with some dramatic sound added to help tell the story of that evening of December 16, 1775 - youtu.be/kqmXniQWZfA?si…
A video in my previous post of my 2 paintings of the Boston Tea Party, 250 years ago. Participant Robert Sessions said, “Perfect regularity prevailed during the whole transaction. Although there were many people on the wharf, entire silence prevailed, no clamor, no talking.”

My finished painting. Brothers Paul Joseph & Edward Revere in camp with the 20th Massachusetts Regiment in 1861 just weeks before their baptism of fire at the Battle of Ball’s Bluff. Neither brother would survive to see the end of the war. Hundreds of thousands shared their fate.
Augusta County author Elizabeth Massie to be honored with Lifetime Achievement Award - augustafreepress.com/news/augusta-c…
There are a few images of the Revere brothers (Paul w/mustache, Edward w/beard) I decided to paint them in their individual uniforms and not wearing hats, belts or swords. It’s an informal time as the 20th Mass. camp is established for the first time in Poolesville, Maryland.
Color sketch: The color and emotional mood of the painting is of equal importance to the subject matter. As with thousands of others in this conflict, the Revere brothers’ lives are to be cut short. Shadowy clouds & a setting sun symbolize their impending demise.
My finished landscape painting of the background. A letter written home by Paul Joseph Revere describes the land where the camp is set up. A sketch of the brothers can be seen in white line against the landscape. It’s sunset. The setting sun rakes across the early autumn fields.
With no period uniforms or models to pose in them, I gathered references showing just how these precisely tailored pieces of clothing would fit the figure so I could paint the figures from scratch. These folds, draping, & creases defined the fashionable soldier of the mid-1800s.
A closeup of the table w/ items that logically might have been there that evening. Bread, wine & cheese for some sustenance & refreshment … and a flintlock pistol. Dorothy Quincy mentioned in her recollections that Hancock had been cleaning his “gun and sword" that night.
My study of Paul Revere entering the room, warning Adams & Hancock of the Regulars’ foray into Lexington. He dismounted from his borrowed horse moments ago, holds his doffed hat in one hand & holds the door open with his left. All 3 figures communicate the tension in the room.
Revere now enters the house and the room where Adams & Hancock are waiting. Here’s my initial sketch to establish the composition. Each detail of the room had to be researched and checked with museums, the Lexington Historical Society, historians, curators, etc.
A study of Revere arriving at the Clarke house. He turns his back to us since the emphasis is on the house and its occupants, & we’ve seen his face in the other paintings in this series. He holds his horse’s reins in his hand and is getting his balance after a quick dismount.

The progression of the preliminary drawing of Philip Edwards’ final mission - from simple sketch to a more finished concept. This was done as information came in from French military historian Gilles Lagin. Now awaiting final approval from Gilles before beginning the pen & ink.
Though some details may change as I await word from our historian, Philip Edwards’ basic pose won’t. However, reference from a uniformed model will make that pose more authentic with the subtleties of dynamic movement. He’ll be clothed in these century-old clothes & equipment.

Latest update from military historian Gilles Lagin in France 🇫🇷 on the ongoing Private Philip Edwards research is expected tomorrow morning. Will share the findings at that time. @CortSkinner
The subject of chemical warfare is too large to cover adequately in a Tweet. Both sides used it in WWI and all sides developed various masks to protect their soldiers from the terrible effects. Here’s one type the US soldier wore. Phil had one in readiness on his last day.
Here’s how Phil would have been equipped when acting as a message runner for his company. However, new information is coming in as I post this, about his role in his final hours during the Battle of Chateau Thierry on July 21, 1918.
This photo from the Richard Thomas Crump Collection at the Library of Congress shows the assembled uniform parts previously posted. With the exception of the necktie, Phil Edwards would have been wearing the same basic clothing on his last day at Chateau Thierry on July 12, 1918.
Phil wore this type of steel helmet, a new development for U.S. troops in WWI. Based on the British model, it helped to defend against the heavy use of artillery & small arms fire. There was not much padding inside the helmet, but it’s protection was surprisingly effective.
As we await “breaking” research from our historian now at the battlefield of Chateau Thierry in France, we’ll continue to dress & equip Pvt. Edwards. The last Tweet was of his army-issued shirt. Phil would have worn either a wool or lighter canvas pair of these breeches.
Now that we have Pvt. Edwards clothed in shirt & pants, he’ll need a good pair of shoes. Warfare & the battlefield changed dramatically from the 19th century, so the military shoe had to adapt. Even a century later, the military shoe continues to evolve to fit the job its given.
Just a few posts reviewing how Pvt. Phil Edwards may have been dressed and equipped on his final mission. Because it was hot in July, 1918 in France in the Chateau Thierry sector, Phil may have worn this sort of flannel shirt, choosing not to wear the heavy wool tunic over it.
