1t is not generally known that Gale
Stearns, the famous artist and water
colorist is summering at Chebeague.
This is MIR Stearns' first visit to the
Maine coast and he is so charmed with
this part oe the country that he intends
to locate here permanently during the
summer seasons. Mr.. Stearns studied
under Chase at the New York Art
League and under Julien of Paris. He
won the highest prize at the Paris Sa-
Ion in 1896 in pastel work and this lead
to his taking up water color work. He
has painted since 1900 along the coast
Of the Mediterranean Sea- the Carribe-
an Sea and the lower Atlantic coast.
He says, however, that there is not in
rich coloring, that can be found
in the rocks along the Maine coast.
Mr.. Stearns has been induced to
give an exhibition of his studies.
Mr.. Stearns says: "An exhibition
is essentially one of an artists note
books done into colors. Out Of doors
anyone who has ever attempted water
color will know that there is little
chance for details in work done right
from nature" 1t is very rarely an ar
tist displays his original sketches but
he will do so on this occasion and WIN
also give an informal lecture on Art
and It's Opportunities. Mr.. Stearns is
a brilliant and interesting talker and
and very rarely indeed do we lind wit
and art so we'll blended and this togeth-
er with a great amount of personal
charm makes Mr. Stearns general ia
vorite wherever he goes.
