In "A STUDIO. One day last week we climbed the
inevitable flights of stairs that in at least,
lead to the abode of genius-the quarters of the po-
ct, painter or penny liner. In this instance there
was no trace Of " midnight OIL" the large window
with northern exposure indicating the presence |
of an artist 1t was, indeed, the recently fitted up
studio in the Savings Bank Building, at present oc
| cupied by Mr.. Frederick f. Wright Il Boston art |
list, who has spent the past and previous summer
| In Belfast, and whom we hope may long continue |
his visits. The room is spacious and is intended |
for work, but the arched ceiling, tinted walls |
quaint old furniture and china, with the artists be-
onglngs and the paintings upon the eases, make it
an attractive place Mr. Wright's specially is por- |
trait painting both in oils and crayons and he has
portraits of several of our prominent citizens now
| underway. These are exclusive of the life-like |
| sketch of four-fooed resident whose first name |
| IS tom" A student and lover of nature, Mr. |
Wright spends much of his time ont of doors, and |
| by way of recreation has made many sketches of |
scenes in this vicinity, in which depicted the |
changing beauties of sea and sky-the calm summer |
morning and the placid evening, and the effects Of |
brisk breeze upon the waters of the bay. One |
sketch derives its value from the brilliant blue of |
| the water rs seen through the foliage from the |
shore. The largest and most finished sketch is one
of the old wool mill just Primrose Hill. Anoh
er has a portion of what used to be known as the |
| Black Rocks in the foreground and shows the YES
sci on the stocks in Cottres shipyarA In another |
a schooner lies at anchor, and water and sky wear
the soft tlnts OF calm summer evening. These |
| are merely stuiies for future use, and in their |
present condition not intended for the public |
eye. Mr.. Wright has been particularly impressed, |
as have other visitors before him, with the SPLEEN
doris of the sunsets here, and pronounced one wit
messed recently the finest he either in this
| country or in Europe. We remember that Balti
more lady who visited here seasons ago never
tired of looking at the and frequently call
ed her friends to share her enjoyment OF the bril-
liant and fleeting show 1t is good to have such APP
preclatlye visitors, to reveal to beauties may
perchance have passed unheeded, and to strengthen
| our pride in the good old state of Maine.
