returning from those regions he has nlsheo hrSO
three or four pictures for which material han pee"
found elsewhere. 1t Is the singular charm OF MI
Innesss work that wherever he goes he pants III ue

his mind and 50 The Home OF the Heron Is In spnt
pure transcript of the South tho Storm on te
Coast Of CORNWALL is OF the North. The former,
with its heavy golden lights rank mnrshy green's ana
shadowy depths, is full OF the rich mystery OF inc
savannahs. The latter, with its bare headlshu
against which the waves splinter themselves ana
its one two forlorn white buildings standing out
garsh under the bleak sky, is convincingy true 10
Northern characteristics. In the tender, poeuo
:" Harvest MOon,' painted at Montchir last month";
Mr.. nness proves his versatility again and his rght
feeling about the human figure considered as an IN
cdent in landscape lie treats it as Corot nearly al
ways did and George Fuller never failed to treat
IL. lie recognizes the comparative insigniicance oil
n figure in a landscape and generalizcs accordingly.
But while generazing, he is careful TO construct and
TO endOw his figures with the sentiment OF their sur
roundings Consequently they contribute exactly their
proper part to the harmony OF the total impression
Mr.. Wyatt Eaton has enthusiasm somewhat
similar TO that Of Mr. Inness for a perfect CORE
Of h. landscape
no matter which is subordinate from the title'
point of view "AenoneS Is the title Of the picture
Mr. Eaton is painting and the figure represented
half fills the frame. But the brook Mt her feet the
bank upon which she is sitting the tangle Of tcket
and wood in the background, will all exhale
the same essence which is to find its finest expires
sion in the face. Mr.. Eaton obtained his natural
facts in Canada. lie has visited for the first time
IN many years a region not far from Montreal with
whose beauties he once intimately acquainted
RcdscOvcring the paintable qualities OF the hills and
forests he has brought home memoranda Of them,
hoping to preserve them now from the treachery of
memory. Mr.. Eaton observes an old rule in paint
ing his pictures The simple outlines OF his figures
are drawn first and nothing further is attempted I'M
Ill they are satisfactory. Afterward In modelling
or in working the landscape, the actual lines dis
appear OF course, but they forgotten their
structural value is felt underneath
This question of outline IS OF less consequence to
Mr. F. s. Church. whose figures often yelled
by the waves, but in his latest work, painted for
Potter Palmer, Of Chicago, vagueness Of outline is
carried perhaps, further than be carried 1t be-
fore. The Battle Of the Sirens" II is called. Mr.
Church would give IL the subtitle Of "A
Dream" lie has meant 1t to be mysterious in
effect rs possible. This picture, which will be ex-
hlbed here in the spring, has interested Mr.. Church
50 much that he has remained in NewlOrk all sum-
Nor working upon it, and his return TO the haunts
of artists has been return from busy retirement in
his studio. His composition is more complicated
than is usual with him, the principal group being
siren on horseback struggling against five six
foot warriors. Behind her in the dim businesses
of the ocean are contending armies, indicated IN the
slightest fashion, but with the sense Of great num-
bers well conveyed For the color scheme Mr.
Church went to an opal and his picture is beautiful
study of whitish pinks faint yeows and emerald
greens. He has hit upon another good color motive
in the lotus now in the Park, and picture
the huge pink and white blossoms. The pyramids
rising family on the horizon help to give the design
flavor of the East. For a New York periodical
Mr. Church has composed "A Dolls Matinee pict-
ure of a child in the centre Of long line OF bears,
cats raccoOns owls and foxes, each holding a doll.
In mmOr II is one OF Mr. Churchs best productions.
Mr. Charles s. Rcinhart is studying pein air Problems
He has studio at Flushing, l.. J., where he has
manned all summer IT IS enough to NewYor1
for him TO still work there part OF the time and before
long he will have completed the picture which he hopes
