"Our Brandywine captures the beauty that can be found
throughout the Brandywine Valley. From Winterthur to the Grand Opera House, this
collection of oil paintings conjures up wonderful memories for me, as I am sure it will
for anyone who is familiar with the splendor of Northern Delaware. I am proud to display
the works of J.R. Huntsberger in my Washington, D.C. office for all to see."
U.S. Senator Thomas R. Carper
"Our Brandywine provides a glimpse over the shoulder of one of
Delaware's excellent oil painters. James Huntsberger's paintings and the accompanying text
and maps will tempt you to explore our home territory, to see the landmarks, and learn our
history."
Barbara E. Benson, Executive
Director, Historical Society of Delaware
The Huntsbergers, with enormous devotion and dedication, have produced
fresh and intense views of much-honored places in the region they love so much. Beyond the
colorful and carefully painted images of James R. Huntsberger, Janet Davis Huntsberger
provides important information about each place, information not readily available
elsewhere, made more valuable because it is so easily accessible in this fine book. We
have much to learn from the Huntsbergers.
