We notice that Harry Brown the Portland
artist has recently had two Of his new pictures
on exhibition at Springfield. Mass. One Of
thee Is a ..sun-et View from Old Orchard
Beach" Our citizens would like to get peep
st painting from 50 skillfal hand as that OF
Browns, Of their hyorite spot The SPRING
field Republican thus speaks Of the two;
Both are exquisite In finish and feeling, but
we should give the preference TO the Sunset from
Old Orchard Beach. This picture aeeomplishes
the effect Of harmony which nature always keeps
In her ycrsi-colored clouds, delicately tinted
waves and barren beach, but which artists 50
often fail TO catch. IL is ebb tide; the sun Is
sinking from q broken SEA Of clouds, behind a
tossing sea Of waves. and throws one long stream
Of light across 10 the beach, where the retreat
| ing waters have left sinuous winrows OF seaweed,
that Is all, and enough TO make very lovely
picture The other scene Is fogy morning Oh
Mount Desert, and resembles somewhat in seem
cry aud especially in atmosphere the very fine
large painting Of the same artists on exhib-
ition here some time ago. The different treat
meut Of the water from its companion work IS
matter for study. and shows the artists
skull even more than the management OF the
] fogy burden Of the sky, and its border broken
on the ragged cliffs near. The "Sunset' Is al
ready sold, and the other SHOULD be speedily
taken by some Citizen Of taste.
Our wharyes have presented rather q quiet
appearance for the last week or two, and there
have been but few arrivals and departures, though
several vessels are still due here.
