The water color work of the young
artist deserves special mention. She has
several charming rose studies, and her
heads are daintier In coloring and more
distinctive. She considers that she has
made an Improvement over the Douglass
girl of her original creation; that as a
type she Is more definite, with greater
claims to recognition.
Miss Douglass paints the types of other
artists and ideallzes them. She ldealizes
women and roses. and she puts them in
an artistic environment, against pale and
pretty backgrounds or dark and glowing
ones. She has thrown a lot of yellow
roses against a copper background, all
most as dazzling as a Turner. With her
women she is reaching after finer flesh
tints. The picture hats covered with
roses, the delicate gowns, all of this is
still found in her water color work. But
her women have more flesh and blood
and they are more real than anything
the young artist has ever done. 1t is
not surprising that Miss Estabrook de-
clared that out of five hundred pupils
Miss Douglass had more talent than any
one of them, and that she urged her to
go to Italy and paint along the Riviera.
