FINE ARTS.
rEScrLLINGs IN THE STUDIOS.


Thomas Moran returned to his studio a few days
ago from a trip of two months in the far West.
which he made in company with his brother. Peter
Moran. OF Philadelphia. the animal painter. Both
bring back large quantities of sketches and studies
those Of the landscape painter being all in water
coors. They went first to California and visited
lakes Tahoe and Bonner and the Sierra Range. The
Elcho and Ruby ranges of mountains in Nevada
were then visited, and subsequently the Wahsatch
Range in Utah. From there they went Idaho. and
started from Fort Hall for the Teton Range to make
those studies which were the chief object of their
trip. Two weeks were spent in these noun
tains. the artists accompanying military scout.
Thomas Moran collected u large amount of material
for an important picture which he intends to paint
of the Teton Range. which he considers the finest
group of mountain forms in the United States. On
the artists return East they stopped on the Green
River. in Wyoming Territory Peter Moran made
during the trip large lumber of studies of animal
trains crossing the plains. of camp and road scenes
and Of the numbering business on Lake Tahoe.
Among Thomas Morans water colors-which are
highly attractive brilliant in color and very
graphic-we note those of the upper end and the en-
trance of Little Cottonwood Cailon i'll the Wahsatch
Mountains; "Clins of Green Rver;" q very pic
turesque distant view Of the Teton Range. looking
across the Teton Basin at the three peaks and Mount
Moran; number OF striking little bits along the
Green River; a view of an Indian camp on the Ross
Fork Indian Reservation and Il Turneresque study
OF Pittsburg. At the Ross Fork Reservation the
artist witnessed scenes which he thinks would
give very fine subjects for our figure paintersthe
treadng out OF the grain by the gayy dressed young
bucks mounted on their ponies, each carrying
looking glass to view his magnifcence. and the wo-
men winnowing by throwing up the grain from fiat
baskets to allow the wind to carry the chaf away.

studies. We hope some OF our young figure paint
ers will take the hint aud 20 West next summer in
