Betsy Wyeth was an artist. So was her sister, Gwen. They were not famous. But there is a definite thread that runs on the other side of Jaime's family.

While I realize that having the plastic screen, hanging from the ceiling, to put text and images upon makes sense when one is speaking to an audience, such as in this video; still, it, definitively, takes something away from the video watching experience! Put that one under " *Duh!* "; put that one in the `" *Duh!* " File`! I can not stress enough how important it is when filming a 'video' to put the images & text, from a spoken dissertation such as this, onto the screen of the internet connected device that one uses to watch the video, i.e., in the editing process. Please! Otherwise, the video isn't worth watching. At all. And it becomes a waste of hd/sd card/server space, bandwidth, electricity, etc., etc., etc. At least, at the very least, it would off-set the mundane and tedious verbosity of a speaker who is, voluntarily or not, desperately trying to put their audience into a deep coma! This. Video. Is. Horrible.

Slides go into slide projectors, not digital projectors. Look closely. Just look up the paintings if you want to see brush strokes. So much stupid in this comment.

@reclined21: I never said that slides go into digital projectors. Perhaps you should learn how to read?! Or perhaps you are just a lying moron... Granted! What I am talking about is the fact that the images, of pictures and text, i.e., the slides, are not put onto the screens of the internet connected devices of those that watch this video...on the internet! If they were, then, it might take something away from the absolute boredom created by the voice of the speaker who is evidently determined to make this video as unenjoyable as possible. This. Video. Is. Horrible. The fact that you are defending it, proves your own stupidity. Nice FAIL. Moron.

Thank you for sharing a wonderful juxtaposition of these two great American painters! I wish John Wilmerding had joined Toastmasters International. His utterances distract too much from a wonderful subject rendering somewhat it somewhat painful to listen to this discourse.
