evening an1 the building Ii lighted the
gallery will also remain opep and there
will probably bs monthly receptions.
During the last par. o! the week just
past. the doors OF tho gallery have Deen
closed that the change OF pictures might
be made in accordance with the rules
above Quoted, and yesterday whom the
gallery WAS again opened the aDeence oil
some OF the best was noticeable; "a OF
that vgoroue canvas Of Mr.. Francisco'e,
with the San Fernando valley stretch
ing back to the hills in the horizon. the
only speck OF lie horseman III the
middle distance; picture tull OF lie
and air, in which the relative values
were 30 carefully yet broadly treated,
and the sunshine and atmosphere go
true to life. However. most OF the new
canvRses arc strong and cleverly painted
and the new water colors are delight.
Among the latter are two by San Fran
ciecc artiets-as Landscape BY William
Keith, who as nearly approaches great
ness az any artist On the coast, and rep
reeents fiat owlande with little touch
of nature in the immediate foreground,
cattle browsing on the green banks and
dim blue distances that reaches
the cloudy sky; the general tone 10
gray with glimpse of sunlight striking
low spur OF hills on the right, and
over ali and through all the tender
poetic feeling which Keith feels himself
go ksenly in nature that it is always
apparent in his pictures. The other
San traaci.cc artist is L. j. Latimer,
who haa wood interior that is not an
example of his beat work in that line,
but ia q very clever water color; road
winding along the side OF cafon with
dense foliage all about, and the sunlight
tlickering through the leaves onto the
road, ia admirably handled. Two new
water colors by Elmsr Wschtel are done
in his best vein-one, bit OF sea coast
with the eands and mass OF kelp that
the busy waves have washed up in the
immediate foreground. while in the dis
tancs the sea melts into the misty sky |;
full OF life, and salt sea air, and gray
mist, ali handled with loving care and
yet most freely the other, stretch OF
road, q knoll, with tree and house, all
washed in, and with an atmos-
pheric effect that 10 most admirable.
II. ID. Nichols has three water colors
that chow an lmpresslonlst ten
dency, Frenchy in colorlng with brill
liant green's and blues. bright sunlight
and strong contrasting shadows that are
deftly handled; i'll another part OF the
gallery th ere are two oils, one OF Echo
cailon that has much the same treat
ment, the other q view from Mt. Lowe in
which very big subject ID worked
cleverly ontoa very little canvas, and
/ a glimpse OF the valley from below with
the fog bank hanging across the horizon
is carefully and cleverly done. The
largest new canvas is n chrysanthemum
field by Miss Fannie Duvall, who was
represented at the worlds fair and mid
winter fair by this same canvas the
riot OF bloom in the field is painted with
breadth and virihty, the values are
carefully regarded. coloring admirably
rich ;and in the distance the light effects
are we'll handled; in two other canvaees
bv G. Conner, the light effects are bold
! lv and well treated, and while there are
weak places ae In the foreground rocka
which are too panty" the concentra-
ton of light in the middle distance is
extremely good. Miss Edith White has
new flower piece, also in oil, that is
clever in cooring. representing large
bunch oil La France roses. and delicate
lavender plambago, in pottery jar on
teak. wood stand. and the
textures OF each are carefully preserved
and delineated. Miss Margaret Ash-
mead also has a very ceverly painted
bunch OF enormous La France roses in a
pottery jar, and a eketoh of April in the
arroyo, which is handled with breath
and shows carefully managed light and
shade effects. In little oil, marine
by Mrs. X. W. Newhall, the waves are
rolling up on the shore, and although
the treatment is conventional, the rest-
lessness OF the water is we'll managed. A

come small boys in argument and
while carefully drawn and painted,
does not show Mr.. Francisco to such
good advantage as In single,
large figure, or landscape, such as has
where his tenderness and virility both
have full play, and his exceptionally
good technique has better opportunity
for displaying iteelf. Miss Helen E.
Coan and Miss Margaret Ashmead both
have good canvases OF still life-peaches
rolling out of basket. one large and one
small, but both cleverly done, and Miss
Coan has new still lfe--a pastel OF
onions, also rolling out OF basket, that
ie as clever piece of work as she haa
shown; the management of high
lights and the textures are ex-
ceptionally good, especially where
il 10 remembered that the medium used
is the pastel. Misc Caldwell has anum'
ber of heads that are painted in q
broad, sketchv manner, and there are q
great many pictures both in oil and
water color that show good, earnest
work and are credit to the gallery,
butwhich cannot be enumerated. About
So paintings in all are now hanging OIL
the walls. A revised catalogue 10 there
and visit to the gallery will not be
time wasted by any means.
