Josephine Bayley exhibits sixteen
pieces, flowers, landscapes, animal
figures, cattle and portraiture, a very
excellent exhibit. G. Cadenain is a new
man in the gallery, and is strong in
portraiture and still life. His 80, "Tropi-

Study of Roses" are good examples of
his work, which is creditable.
Miss Callie G. Vivian. the first gold
medalist of the Sacramento School of De-
sign, makes large display of good
work, covering a considerable field of
variety. There is feeling OF warmth and
purpose in all her pictures and evident
sincerity in the artist that is transferred to
her canvas.
Mrs. Clara Parsons has two flower
pieces that are meritoriouS; Miss NJ
Blanch, medalist of the Sacramento
School of Design, makes handsome and
varied exhibit in landscape and still life,

Kate Mansfield has an unframed exhibit
that is more than usually attractive 1t

of this promi sing artist, as the exhibits
run from architecture and landscape to
fruits and flowers. 1t is very deserv-

style OF Nelland.

scapes, still life, figure work and interiors
