Art is not confined TO any | untry, nor
are its limitations regd ave. A. sex Like
the prophet, however, 10 st is not al
ways appreciated in his country, nor
his work honored until it Sges.
Art, like the gospel is for the world,
and like it comes to elevate and refine.
Because artists are living, and because
they labor among US ought not to count
against them, and it ought not to be in the
| far future that Fort Worth will become an
art center.
Thoughts such as these induced visit to
some Of the studios in the city, and it was
found that women were at work and that
their work was creditable to woman and to
art
The first visit was at the studio of Mrs.
Teunin, in the Hirshheld building. Mrs
Tennin is native of New Orleans, has
studied under specialists, and was student
at the Washington university, St. Louis.
She is an adept in free-hand drawing and
studies ccloring from nature. Her work in
black and white is especially good
Might on ebonized wood, Is a striking
piece of work, in that the poise of the fe-i
male figure, with the arms uplifted, is ex-
ceptionally fine. In water-coloring she.
shows nice discernment Of tint, as can be
seen in winter scene she has on exhibit
ton.
Her early bias is eyinced in the upturned
faces Of many Of her figures. This is
noticeable in screen, the center panel a
female figure in rapt attitude watching the
hightof swallows The fight and nesting on
the two other panels is treated in unconven-,
tional fashion. Her work in pastel and oil
are faithful and attractive; noteworthy and
what might be regarded her masterpiece is
1.-THE First Grief" Adam and Eve over the
dead body of Abel, their son. In this
there is remarkable fidelity to tone The
body Of Abel stretched in the abandon of
death upon his fathers knees is 'ssickliedl
DER with pallid cast" that contrasts truly
ures. The kneeling, clinging, Eve is the
of a mother bereft of her
hearts idol. One feature in this artists
work is to be commended while the be-
holder sees full curves and beautiful out
lines in her female figures There is moth
ing suggestive of aught but purity and in
nate delicacy.
Some of the unfinished work of her pu-
pills show excellence and daintiness not to
be expected from beginners.
In the studio of Mrs Stewart are to be
seen specimens of artistic work. Some of
The choicest are on exhibition on Houston
street. Mrs. Stewart has studied in
Topeka, Kan, and under French and Ger
nan masters in Chicago. Her studies are
rom life and from nature and, as she |
Justly said, these only are worthy the |
lrtist, any other work belonging to the.
,opyist She works in water colors, oil! |
md crayon and is extremely successful in |
'ortraiture. In water coloring her skill is
veil shown in water scene Boats arel
ailing out upon an expanse of water with

cmesstrong types in faces, Indian, Moor
nd Russian.
Mrs. Stewart is the only artist in china
'ainting in this city who has 4 kiln and
Ioes her own firing. This is done at her
ocm' every Saturday about O'Clock in the
fteruoon, and this lady said she would be-
cry glad to have the ladies visit h.r at,
hat time and see the process. Her work
4 china is very handsome and the coloring
rtistic-some specimens in royal Worcest>d
re exceedingly well done.
At the rooms Of Mrs. Stewart was met
drs. Savage, who is organizing class here
