The opening of the annual exhibition of
the Birmingham Art association. which
will take place today is one of import
ance and interest to hundreds. The ex-
hibit hall is in the Forbes building,
where yesterday preparations were busily
going forward to place the lovely speci-
mems of Birminghams artistic talent in
readiness for the visitors expected today
Too much cannot be said in praise of the
earnest group of workers who launched
this plan to bring their work before the
public each year and thus foster the ap-
probation of the best local talent can
produce. visit to the exhibition has
been made decidedly worth while by those
who have lined the walls of the exhibit
rooms with their bits of work.
Among the exhibitors of paintings in oils
and water colors are Miss Della Dryer
Miss Eloise Montgomery, Mrs. Luke, Mrs
Joseph Montgomery Mrs. ]. A. Montgom-
cry, Miss Alice Rumph, Mrs. Turner, Miss
Mary Kirkpatrick, Miss Dorothy Orr, Miss
Glenne Mosely, Miss Carrie Hill, Mrs.
Upton, Mrs. NJ p. Darwin, Mrs. WALL
Mrs. Julia Mountfort, Miss Isabel Mar

Tarrant and others.
The past summer was spent by a group
of young artists on the eastern coast at
Provincetown, where they worked daily
amid the most artistic surroundings, and
with the inspiration afforded by the pres
ence of some of the greatest artists that
the country has produced. In the little
group were Miss Mclaughlin, Miss Della
Dryer and Miss Eloise Montgomery The
sketches that they brought back with
them are exquisite, recalling the sand
dunes, the fishing and boating scenes
among which for the time they lived.
With Miss Dryers customary skill in ex-
ecution she has portrayed a dainty little
bit of the sea, showing a little green boat
rocking on a gentle bit of sea- Another
altogether different but as charming, is
a summer girl at Provincetown in which
larger picture of Miss Dryers is a study
of roses done in water color
Miss Montgomery also has several
sketches of the wharf at Provincetown
which are lovely. Miss Mclaughlin s
study of a boy at Provincetown is cap
tvating.
A canvas that is decidedly unique as to
/ its subject and beautifully executed is
Mrs. Luke's study of cotton. The gor-
| geousness of this beautiful plant is given
full expression in the picture which one
possesses a wealth of color, the warm
rich tones of brown contrasting effective
1 ly with the snowy white of the bolls. A
miniature of Mrs. Luke's mother is sure
to create general admiration. 1t is ex-
quisitely done, and the fact that it is the
| first miniature work that the artist has
done adds to the interest Hanging next
| to. this dainty picture yesterday was an
! example of Miss Boyds exquisite work 1t
represents a jolly little girl and Teddy
bear Miss Boyd's' miniatures last year
were noted with the most dattering en-
thusiasm. Another in the group is the
work of Miss Isabel Marshall, a sister of
Mrs. w. S. Lowell, and possessed of her
