Local artist and author plan two talks

Book is now available at Brandywine Museum of Art, among other places

Emotional Brandywine, a book depicting the emotional side of the Battle of Brandywine and the Brandywine valley, is now available at the Brandywine Museum of Art, at York Hall in Yorktown, Va., and nationwide through the Lafayette Shoppe, based in Williamsburg, Va.

“The book has been widely popular,” author Bruce E. Mowday said. “The first printing sold out within months last fall. The California publisher’s second printing is now available. We’ve had numerous requests for signed books.”

The Brandywine Museum of Art in Chadds Ford now has signed copies. Renowned artist Karl J. Kuerner has a solo show at the museum to go along with the book. Kuerner selected the subjects for the book and Mowday wrote essays for the paintings.

Lisa Ingegneri, owner of Williamsburg-based Lafayette Shoppe, added the book to her all-things- Lafayette online store. One of Kuerner’s paintings is of Lafayette’s Sword. The online store can be found at www.lafayetteshoppe.com.

The Gallery at York Hall, Yorktown, recently reordered copies of Emotional Brandywine.

Also, Kuerner and Mowday are scheduled for two speaking engagements. They will give a talk on June 26 at the General Warren Inne, Malvern. On July 15, the artist and author will give a presentation at the Sons of the American Revolution National Congress in Lancaster. Details are being finalized on both talks.

Emotional Brandywine, published by Regent Publishing, lists for $40. For information on obtaining signed copies, contact Mowday at [email protected].
