About Edward Burrill Jr

  • Biography

    Edward Burrill is best-known today as one of the seven Lynn Beach Painters. However, his career as a painter began, not with the better-known and later coastal subjects, but with landscapes of Boston's North Shore. These were bucolic affairs and often included well-painted cattle. Burrill first appears in 1880, for in the month of December he submitted three works: an oil painting, a watercolor, and a crayon drawing to a one-month exhibition at Silas A. Barton's Market Street Store in Lynn. Also represented in the exhibition were Charles Woodbury, Clark Oliver, and C. E. L. Green—all soon to be painting on the beaches at Lynn and Swampscott with Burrill. In this group, Burrill took first prize in professional oil, wawww.childsgallery.com/artist.php...
