Our young friend Miss Annie Hurd is
growing in favor as will be seen by the
below paragraph copied from the Bridge
port Conn., Standard:
Miss Annie Hurd, OF Stratford. has
placed in Brewster's at store TWO fower
pieces il oil. each u which is gem.
One OF these is a bouquet Of chrysanthe-
NUNS placed carelessly in decorated
vase. On close inspection one is i'm
pressed with the idea that the original
flowers have, instead OF being allowed
to wilt, been transferred to the canvas.
The varying tints and hues are success
fully and haruloniously reproduced by
the artist. The other is bunch OF
growing thiStles, not dead and fluffy.
but brilliant and full Of life. There Is q
reality in the thisrles that Is very iascina-
ting, and desire to pluck them is sup
pressed by iear OF pr;cking ones fingers.
Miss Hurd did not begin the study Of
painting until recently, bnt as pupil
She has made rapid progress under q
most competen. teacher, Mr.. Calvin
Curtis, and judging from the work she
mas already accomplished, her applica-
r;on has not been III vain. That she
has powers yet undeveloped is isappaTent.
The charges which are often brought
against young artists, namely: lack OF
originality, incorrectuesS Of DRAWN, hur-
sied execution and cruGeaess o: color,
may not BE alleged IL the two examples
