Mr.. Max Weyl, who finds within short
radius of the city an nnending collection OF
picturesque views, and whose delight and
faith in their unrivaled charm seems un-
falling and makes him the most genuinely
Washingtonian of all the local painters,
has also been making sketching trips into
the nearby country, where he has found
quantity of new and very attractive ma
terial.
Long experience has taught Mr.. Weyl not
to carry back and forth each day all of his
paraphernala, but rather to establish
depot of supplies, as it were, in the imme-
date neighborhood in which he is working,
where a number of canvases can be kept
and worked on alternately as the day or
technicalities may make desirable. In this

he is able to accomplish the best results.
One of the few of his recent paintings
which he has brought to his studio is
broad view of fields and wooded dell
flooded with sunshine yet cool enough,
botn in light and color, to suggest the
nearness of spring. The sky is partly cloud
ed, but mild and gentle, and the whole is
very atmospheric, picturesque and attract

some what poetical tenderness.
Mr. Moser is so well known as land
scape painter that many will be surprised
to learn that he has lately turned his at
tention to portrait work. He is now en-
gagged upon a portrait in oils of Mr. Apple
ton Clark's two little daughters, and last
week he executed an admirable likeness in
water colors of a Mr.. Wood. The last is
quite an extraordinary accomplishment. 1t
is life size and is done with great breadth
and freedom. It is good in color, full Of at
mospheric quality and in strength suggest
i've rather of painting in oils or pastel.
Mr. Moser met with very gratifying and
substantial appreciation in New York last
week selling at the American Water Color
Society's annual two paintings, receiving
for one the cloud on the mountain which
was shown here in the Washington Water
color Clubs last exhibition, $500. and fon
the other, a little wood interior, $1O0.
Miss Mueden has just finished another of
her attractive little red chalk portraits.
This is of young woman wearing low
neck gown with a graceful fichu fastened
around her shoulders. 1t is firmly modeled,
vet very simple, and possesses that delight
fuI though elusive charm of subtlety which
is easier felt than explained.
