~ NE OF Francis McComas' notable
exhibitions is taking place at
~ vickery's in California street,
and is proving one of the most
successful ever held even by this popu-
lar artist. Twenty-Five water colors,
an oil and eight charcoal studies com
prise the exhibit. McComas is well
known to art connoisseurs as one of
the strongest water colorists of his
time. In London. where his work was
recently shown, he received warm en-
comiums from critics and press, es-
pecially from the London Times which
declared his work to be of so supreme
and fine "a character as to mark a dis
tinct epoch in water color.
To those who have been fortunate
enough to view McComas earlier work,
it may seem that this last exhibit is
modelled along slightly different lines.
For instance. leaning toward the aca-
demic is discernible, q tendency TO
work over and over until little of the
fine big spirit is lacking, and a more
Photographic effect obtained. The fire
and freedom and dash of these first
paintings may seem to be somewhat lost
in this his later work but this is only
to the praeticed eye. To the ordinary
observer, who looks for beauty poetry
and quality in this work, the reward is
full ''Ronda Farms" AN English
Cottage at Ronda Bridge in Spain, y
THE Monastery" and the two Hamp-
shire landscapes are works full of so
much more than the mere painters art.
There is quality. beautiful, soft and
rich, in these dreamy landscapes of
Gfeece and of Spain. They enchant the
eye; color glows and expands and salts
fies with surety and serenity; but over
and above all the great progress tech
nically which has been marked in each
of this artists exhibitions, is the
beauty of thought, mood and sentiment,
well balanced and controlled What
McComas has done so far promises
ma gnficently.
The present exhibition is approaching
the record of the former ones, in that
although Wednesday was only the third
day on which the pictures were viewed
seven water colors and four charcoal
sketches have been sold. McComas gets
large prices. but If any one doubts that
there is value received let him to go
Vickery's and see the work Of a man
who has shown the height and breadth
to which work in water colors may at
tain. The exhibition will be open un-
til November Il.

visitors to the gallery. Mrs. Chittenden
expects to exhibit number of sketches
made while on her recent trip through
Europe-sketches OF old. quaint Eng
lish fishing villages, of Breton scenes,
OF the canals and palaces of Venice,
OF Normandy women rubbing their
linen on the old stepping stones of
brook-these and a number of other
things will be seen by those who care
TO catch these glimpses of the old
world. Mrs. Chittenden's picture of
white and pink roses that was ex-
hibited in the Paris salon will be
shown. 1t is a jar, standing on a
table covered with white cloth, contain
ing a number Of full blown roses. The
whole canvas shows exquisite flower
portraiture. 1t is the best work that

ture to attract and delight the eye.
