This is the last week of the Kilo
hama Art exhibition. AS the picture!
went on to the walls about the time
Of the advent of the Boys in Blue, the
latter perhaps diverted some attention
from what local artists have been ac
complishing during the last half year
However, the remaining afternoons Of
the week will be ample time for even
the most tardy ones to avail them
selves of what is awaiting them III
the Art League rooms. Catalogue ana
admission are alike free to the public
this year.
AS one looks down the list it may
be discovered that the number com
cides almost exactly with that OF six
months ago. although perhaps fewer
of the exhibits are offered for sale.
It appears also that there are less OIL
colors in proportion to the others, but
some large and striking water colors
are there in compensation. OF these
Mrs. Kelley takes the lead as BENG
the author, and so we'll appreciated
we're two of her representations OF
Hawaiian Ieis, one lima and the
other Of carnations with koa GAIA
hash. that they were both purchased
the first evening There is still
golden Ilima lei which invites the
purchaser and excites the admiration
of many a one who would gladly be
the owner if only his ship had come
in. A most striking picture by the
same artist hold a fine middle space
an the wall. THE Mouth of Onomea
Gulch." Mrs. Kelley improved to the
fullest degree her hours spent in the
vicinity of Hilo last winter, and this is
one of the evidences. The silvery
water in contrast to the rich red SOIL
and brilliant verdure, together with
tho fantastic natural formation make
a nicture not soon to be forgotten.
r7vnicallv Hawaiian also are TWO
other scenes showing grass houses
which the tourist to come Will look
for in vain except upon canvass, IN
loss he goes into some of the by ways
and out of the way places to search
for such picturesque scenes as are mere
denied. Besides her Hawaiian views
which are the most endearing objects
of her brush is a beautiful piece OF
workmanship, No. 10, I'm Alameda,
and the little gem in the gold sur
rounding. "A Storm" No. y. Wnen
Mrs. Kelley works the feeling OF TINS
foreign bit into some of her Island
scenes, the attractions of the ArI
League will be richer yet.
Turning to the work of another eX-
hibitor whom all welcome for the
first time.is found a number OF clear
and crisp bits of scenery in Cantor
MIA, principally by Mrs. Herbert Gar
stin. Tt is a pleasure to see new
name on the list, and it is hoped thaI
it may continue there, and with WORK
as attractive. 1t is hard to single out
anv particular ones from among those
bv this artist, but one may ask that
the public be favored often with work
in the same vein by the same brush.
Mr.. Hitchcock has been engaged of
late with interests closer to his heart
than painting, and his numbers are
hardly as large as usual, but all VIII
pardon him at this turning point in
his life, in full confidence that the
present interests of his heart and
Dainting will hereafter be such help
10 each other that friends will behold
him happy in life, and better than
ever before represented on canvass.
The good wishes of the Art League
and of all his friends will surely be
extended to him in both these dlrec-
tons. Meantime he has been ponder
ing what the wild waves say, and mas
shown in his chef-d'Oeuvre OF the
present time. "OutpOsts. 1t may not
arneal to some as the one large move
of a former exhibition did. but it Is
fuu of thought and careful study.
ssKilauea in 1898" close at hand shows
the yividness of our favorite crater
scene without the blood and thunder
element that once obtained as indls-
pensible.
Mr. Hitchcock has set that line OF
work upon an entirely new plane, IN
DAYLIGHT and reality, and the picture
lover owes him debt of gratitude.
