Young Artist.
The first OF the seasons exhibits OF indi-
yiduai work was opened at the Providence
Art Club last evening when Mr.. III. Anthony
Dyer, one OF the most promising OF the
younger art SITS OF Providence, received his
friends at the exhibition of his summers
work. Mr.. Dyer will start for an extend
ed tour OF Europe within a few weeks,
and his friends were glad TO take advan-
,age of this opportunity to examine and
praise his latest work before he left the
country.
Mr.. Dyer is a Providence boy, and
,ociety turned out in force last evening
90 that the Art Club exhibit was not only
an exhibition of excellent work in water
solors but II was one of the social func,
tions OF the season. All the prominent
members OF the Art Club were in al,
tendance while the number of the soclsi
leaders who were present made the occa-
sion also gathering OF the best soclety
in the city.
While the pictures themselves wers the
center OF attraction few OF the guests lett
the building until they had visited the
"greenroom" where tea was served. Inc
effect of the table decoration, with the
many candles beneath their red shades,
were very attractive. Misses Msdaline
Goddard, Mollie Foster, Edith Rich
mond, Marion Hazard, Charlotte Tilden,
Abbie Aldrich, May Burroughs and
Rachel Rowland, took turns in pouring.
The water colors, about Is in all, were
srtistically hung in the gallery.
At the head OF the stairway was group
ed the smaller sketches that Mr.. Dyer has
designated as his Christmas cards. These
are charming bits OF color and lead the
way TO the larger and more serious work
OF the artist.
What made the exhibit parti cularly
attractive to the local lovers OF art was
that so many OF Mr. Dyer's pictures were
studies OF familiar places With the ex-
ception OF his Nantucket sketches nearly
all OF the artists work was done in the
vicinity OF Rumford, Greenwich and
Wexford, and many OF those who ex-
amineu the pictures last evening were sur
prised at the beauty OF the well known
Rhode Island landscapes.
Mr.. Dyer's picture of the meadow banks
at West Greenwich might be regarded
as one OF the artists best efforts. IT Is
a particularly truthful rendering OF the
soft, fresh water marshes with the rank
grass showing green and leading back
TO the darker shadows OF the trees on
the banks. The artist has caught the
buDlle EcHecllon OF the BrAS hcuih that 10
peculiar 10 fresh water and the picture
mas Natures truest ring.
'Up West Greenwich Hill, is faith
'ul study In bright sunlight OF hot ana
iusty road, wnilo the picture OF Green
wich bay II difficult subject we'll
handled, the jagged lines OF the coast
sharply indenting the blue .of the water.
A broad technical treatment and much
OF the freedom of the Dutch style IS
shown in the pictures, prospect Farm
Road and "On The Hamilton Road, "
both being stnLits of typical country by
ways, while I" rhe Head Of the Pasture"
shows moro briliancy OF color.
"Over October Fields" Indian Sum-
mcr" and "Esrly Autumn on the Ten
Mile River are riots OF autumnal color,
"Oger October Fields being particularly
fine in its treatment OF the richly colored
grasses.
"w here Breakers Roar, F." "In From the
Sea-. and "A Heavy Swell'' are three
Nantucket surf scenes in wash the ar
tist has successfully caught the delicate
green tones of tho breaking waves.
s'Waiting for Orders" - the picture OF
Nantucket dory. The boat is drawn
upon the beach ard the accurate manage
neBt OF the difficult lines OF the craft
shows that the artist is a draughtsman as
wei as colo.ist.
"From the noorings" is the study OF
the shore, showing the picturesque
buildings OF an old Nantucket town,
with the church spire in the background:
The hour is late, twilight Is falling and
the sky is suggestive OF a coming storm.
s'in My Grendmotner's Garden is
clever sketch of hollyhocks and "Ray's
Court" Is the study of a road, overhung
with trees. through which the sunlight
fiickers.
