studies in oil, one Of jonquils and one
OF lemons, that were exceedingly
good.
Robert Wilson, the young gentle
man Of the class, showed in his
collection some remarkably well ex-
ecuted drawings from casts as well as
studies in perspective and stu life
that deserve mention.
Miss Nadine Steele has decided
talent in art, judging from her work
shown. Her water color sketches
are especially good. One a kettle
and pan and one study Of a jar
showed much feeling, while the
coloring Of the copper kettle, which is
so difficult to get, was wonderfully
brought out.
Miss frankie Tucker showed some
well executed studies from life as
well as other good work, while Miss
Carrie Meng had studies in colored
chalk that would have been creditable
to a student of much more experience
a jug and dipper in chalks was one of
her best studies as to treatment and
execution, The harmony in tone of
background and jug specially dis
tinguisned it.
Among other things Miss Tinsley
had in her collection a study of
corn done in water colors, which
attracted much attention. In both
tone and feeling it was exceptional.
A Nubian head done in red chalk
was one of her best things.
In the clay modelling shown, three
heads, the work of Misses Tinsley.
Bates, and Tucker, we're highly
praised and considering the short
tine these young ladies have been
working in clay we're extremely good.
