the peerless statue and had sketched it

as only one does who is in earnest
During the latter part of that period
the conception of the great misnameG
Venus as Demeter came to her. A
picture of this Demeter. holding in her
arms child, beautiful as the goddess
herself, formed itself in Miss Del Mars
mind. She began to make studies for
the painting in Paris and finally began
the great work itself. She returned to
America six years ago, bringing the
unfinished picture with her. She es-
tablished studio in New York, paint
ing rare portraits. and in the intervals
when she was not doing that she made
the Demeter her avocation
Five years mere passed before the
painting of the transformed Venus was
completed. Then it was shown to art
friends and critics and finally to the
public. 1t is a very large picture for
small woman TO make. being in size
by 10 feet. Miss Del Mars painting
shows the Divine Mother having still
the face, form and shoulders OF the
Louvre Venus. holding in her arms an
exquisitely beautiful blond child In
front of and below the figure is an
altar on which incense is burning. AT
each side a mother and child are wor-
Shipping the great mother. Offerings
of grapes and wheat are near the altar.
The dark. yet radiant. tints of Spanish
art abound.
A powerful light streams from above
and in front of the main figure, throw
ing il into bold relief The lower
part of the painting is mostly shroud-
ed in the sacred gloom which builders
of Christian temples have copied from
those of the ancients. Miss Del Mar
has discovered from historic records
that many ancient temples were light
ed solely from within by lamps.
The painting created a powerful I'm.
preston as soon as it was exhibited,
Better yet for the artist whose work
of love IL had been so many years, il

noble price.
Interesting even as her great picture
is the artist herself who painted it.
She is a small. slender, very graceful
woman of the Spanish type. dark, with
soft, bright eyes and a sweet, culti-
va.ed voice. One may take 1t for
granted that no sickly veakling of
woman could do a work like this res
toration and transformation of the
Venus of Milo. Accordingly, 1t can be
said that Miss Del Mar Is a strong,
athletic woman, who never had an ILL
ness in her life. Fencing is her ia
