one observes that in the painting Of wild
animals the artist paints smoothly. in
the landscape portions of the picture he
has painted broadly. and yet the two
| combinations Of technique are not dis
cordant.
The exhibition Will continue until

Miss Carlisle's Exhibition.
The miniatures and water colors OF
Miss Mary Helen Carlisle, which have
been on exhibition at Veerhoffs gal
lery. in T street, closed yesterday. In
the water cOlors. Of which a large pro-
portion are sections OF gardens about
Newport. she has shown very attractive
ideas Of composition. although her color
seems somewhat formal and unlike
that technical method which is as COM
mon among those working in this
medium. Her color sense IS positive
rather than idealistLc. and her manner
Of presenting her ideas is decidedly or!gi-
nal. In her miniatures, Of which a
| wide variety is shown, she has demon
strated a deIicacy and appreciation Of
beauty, as well as the attempt TO find
new fields which have not occupied
the attention Of the miniature painter

Lucien Powell
On March Il. Lucien Powell Will open
an exhibition Of works in oil and water
color. at Veerhofrs Gallery. in F street
Mr.. Powell has been working indus
triously for some time in preparation for
this exhibit. and under circumstances Of
great disadvantage. The erection OF a
large Office building in Fifteenth street
has greatly obscUred the light Of his
studio in the Lehman building, making
the proper judging Of color values
most difficult problem. In addition to
this handicap. Mr.. Powell has sustained
injuries involving both hands. and work
under such conditions has not only been
real labor, but quite painful. In spite
of these obstacles Mr.. Powell has sew
eral interesting pictures in preparation
ton as a cOlorist.
Yellowstone Canyon.
The recent gift Of Mrs. Henderson to
the National Gallery Of a picture of the
Yellowstone canyon. is a valuable ad-
clifton 10 the pictures already arranged
in the lecture room Of the National
Museum, which now contains the works
belonging TO the National Gallery. This
picture Is canvas OF large size and
has been placed on the east wall OF the
gallery The work is by Lucien Powell
and the subject has been well selected
and treated with a rare perception Of
the colOrs 50 abundant in that wonder
land OF color. At the left of the picture
are massive rocks. At their base the
colors are Somber and Obscured in the
atmospheric haze At the SUBMITS the
colors are brilliant under the influence
of the full light. As a whole il is an
| inspiring subject, broadly and cOmpre-
henSlvely handled.
