A Noted English Artist

In the Windsor Magazine Mr.. Lewis
Hind gives chatty account OF famous
painters at work He tells us that Sir
Edward Burne-J Jones has no liking for an
ornate studio. His floors and walls are
bare; and as for incompleted pictures,
have never seen such a collection. 1t
would take me hundred years to finish
them ALL he sometimes remarks with
sigh. To Sir Edward it is always a de-
light to begin a new picture. he never
finishes it aightway out of hand. They
wait for the mood when he can do them
justice; and with such a collection or
fragments by HIM, it follows that he
knows not the meaning of'an idle day.
