The record-union., 1898-09-13


E. A. Greenlaw has some interesting
studies in 2S1, 2S2 and 2S3. The lat
ter, Suffers Fort" has attracted a
great deal Of attention by reason Of It's
historic interest. It is quite we'll done.
From 305 to 80, inclusive, embraces
the work of Josephine Blanch. There is
a wide variety in the themes, which
run from japanese Bric-a-Brac' to
Jag but all are quite interesting and
show that the artist is versatile.
Quite an honest compliment was paid
to picture No. 305 yesterday by Paui,
the well-known San Francisco painter.
The picture hangs near where PAU
sits, so he studied it for some time,
after which he said: "Those donkeys
are said to have been painted by the
same person who painted these land
scapes,' and he pointed to some near
at hand, saying, "but if the person who
painted the landscapes claims the dom
keys he must have had somebody else
paint them and allow him to claim
them The extent of the compliment
vii! be understood when it is stated
that all the hangings in question We're
the work of Mrs. J. L. Huber, and that
the contrast that struck Paul as so re-
markable marks the progress of a few
years. Mrs. Hubers best work, how
ever is probably in another depart
nent, being a wash (46O and water
color from life 400, and six pen and
ink drawings 1866, which show marked
ability in the line of newspaper and
magazine illustration.
One of the striking landscapes Of the
art exhibit is by Emil Pissis (2lS), ana
it shows a fine appreciation Of those
tints and tones that make for the po-
etic in nature. It is well worth study.
J. A. Stanton has a number of hang
ings that are worth more than passing
attention, for they show those brush
touches and that general breadth of
composition that mark the work Of
those who study nature deeply. From
164 to 16S inclusive are pieces Of his
worth close observation, but there are
many others well worth seeing, as the
curtain piece from Phelan's San Jose
Theater
Sacramentans will be pleased to note
some of the very careful work Of Mrs.
Herrick, as seen in All, 412, Alb and
49, the latter being an exceedingly i'm
pressive view of Chinatown. There is
grasp and finish about her work that
pleases and gives promise Of brighter
future. Many visitors have paused be-
fore her hangings to ascertain the name
Of the artist, SO they can look for fu-
ture portrayals Of her power.
In spite of the way his name has
been heralded there is just a touch OF
the pedantic tameness that disappoints
in the work of Jules Pages. His Near
Paris' Q37) is somewhat dsappointir g
II its coloring and general tone.
"a Mountainous Torrent" Q35), by H.
r. Bloomer, is a study well worth close
scrutiny This artists work has long
attracted attention, but the torrent is
so naturally stolen from a page of ma
ture's great book that it should be read
and enjoyed.
Miss Strong's Cattle" 229) will be
viewed with pleasure by those who like
animal painting. There is much worthy
Of praise in the study.
Several pleasant things might be said
with propriety about Marion Frollich's s
Peaches" $50, as well as about some
Of her other work.
THE Monterey Coast" by H. D
Gremke $3.50. is worth more than pass
| ing notice. 1t is painting we'll COM
posed and worked up with fine atmos-
| phere and general effect
Carrie Yoerk's Grapes" (277), as well
as 27S. 279 and $50, show fine ability as
painter of fruit and blossoms
Evening" GOO, by r. D. Yelland, is
a fine example of this splendid paint
| er's style. Like all Of his exhibited
work, the atmosphere and coloring are
| strikingly natural.
Nothing within the inclosure of good
| things is more attractive than the agri-
| cultural and horticultural exhibit OF
| Sacramento County, under the manage
| ment of Mrs. T. Shields. Tt shows in a
| striking manner the diversified products
| Of the countys soil. In this display
| one sees wheat, hops, hemp, potatoes.
| hay, melons, tobacco and pumpkins
! One pumpkin is seven and a half fee;
in circumference.
| Mrs. Shields exhibit is even larger
| than that Of the county, and is far more
| attractive in the fruit department, OF
| which she has a large and varied dis
| play, particularly In dried fruits. She
has a farmhouse, built in rustic style
| in which one beholds many of the pal
| atable fruits. Her exhibit shows in a
marvellous way the products of Do
acres.
One of the most attractive horticult-
ural exhibits is that of Mr. and Mrs
Joseph Sims. They show twenty-foul
varieties of wine grapes from their
| farm.
/ t. P. Forbes & Co. have an interest
ing exhibit of their Castalian waters
said to be purifying to the blood.
The sanitary liquor store of NJ S
