Using a new type of gouache (Turner)

On my easel - Uwchlan Friends Meeting House

Uwchlan Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker meeting house located on North Village Avenue (Pennsylvania Route 113) at Lionville in Uwchlan Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1756, and is a ​2 1⁄2-story, rubble fieldstone structure with a gable roof. During the winter of 1777–78, it was used as a hospital by the Continental Army at Valley Forge and staffed by Dr. Bodo Otto (1711–1787).

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
