VALUE OF HARD WORK
IN ARTISTS CAREER
Ruel P. Tolman Shows Great
Progress in His Re-
cent Paintings.

The value Of genuine hard work, of
following steadfastly. day by day, in
pursuit Of the object of ones ambition,
is as productive of results in an art
career ss In any other direction. The
artist, waiting for the inspiration, for
the compelling Qlood, is doomed TO a
life OF idleness with all its accompany
ing surroundings. Work IS the creative
power that some call genius, the COM
peiling factor known as Inspiration.
Ruel Z. Toiman, has not been waiting
during this summer at the cross roads
for inspiration and ideas 10 force him
TO serious effort. Nearly every day his
studio in II street, near Vermont ave-
nue., has been open, and Tolman has
been hard at work The tennis court
near his home in the country has given
hinf~ the necessary physical relaxation,
his work In the studio has kept his
hand and mind employed, and the warm
weather has passed by without notice.
The advantage OF this continuous
studious work, is seen BY lhe progress
made by this young artis.. The result
is not entirely confined to a more How
ing. adaptable technique, .ru5 a. q deeper
insight in the direction IF the funda-
mental things in painting, sci of not
only seeing but feeling those indefinable
qualities belonging te al creations.
Those suggestive qualities that one be-
leves really exist, yet whose existence
cannot be proven, the artist has sug-
gested, and the suggestion is well con-
yeyed. You understand and vet YOU
cannot demonstrate.

Way Down in the COTnfield' has about
it many pleasing as well as unusual
qualities. The subject Cf the picture is
really a watermelon feast. and the

COlOTed boy and the watermelon is an
old theme, but in the picture by Mr..

there is no attempt at posing, at bur
lesque. or cariCature. Il seems to be an
