TOMORROW

A dizzy, glowing waste of rudy sand
Horizoned like yellow tropic sea:
streams dry bed, with cottonwoods that stand
Far-scattered, dropping. Here the land is free
But this poor hut whose window-holes command
Two hundred miles of desert, seems to me
Its owners prison, exile, living tomb And he?
And he9 Two hundred miles of smiling plain
Of orchard, meadow, wood caress his eve.
The noble high roads, passing fields of grain
Converge in noble avenues; and high
Above him chimneys rise, and steeples, fain
To win him bread and goodness
And why
Embrace today and let the blest tomorrow lie?

There is a good deal Of nonsense in the
talk about landscapes painted wholly
Out-of-doors" and ION the spot"
1t has become a sort of cant phrasv,
this 'plein air. that is so much explOit~J
at present AS a matter OF cold fact,
many admirable landscape painters
paint their pictures in their studios.
They make their sketches and studies
out-Of-doOrs, Of course, but sketches
and studies are not pictures. Il IS only
thefaculty OF making clear picture out
of-dOOrs. IN the presence of nature.
Daubigny was one of these men.
But the vast majority of landscape
painters are like Harpignies. who has
to cook his motive In the studio. Mr.
Ennedng is a marvellous sketCher, and
has the ability 10 set down what he sees
before him as few men can, but he will
tell you that the result is not what he
calls "aa Ennel1ing." He has to work

things to be taken out Of a sketch.

by most landscapists. and IL rs one that
has many advantages: but among the
requisites is a most tenacious and highly
trained memory.
Train Memory.
II IS quite astonishing 10 what an
extent the memory can be trained in
this calling. It IS the drilling. daily and

subtle perception. not only Of the vari-
Gus parts which 20 10 the making up
OF the subject, but Of their relations TO
each other. Mr.. Ochtman makes very
good point when he speaks OF the first
impression Of a motive: that, he says,
Is what must be painted The artist
must memorize II. and paint II away
u just Ike that again" How true this
Is every painter knows from his OUn eN-
perience. It is the light fl which the
scene is viewed that gives II its peculiar
beauty, and this light is never twice the
same; therefore, It Is not possible TO
come back day after day TO the same
landscape subject and build I'D a picture
Of II In colors that shall be satisfactory,
for the unity OF the impression would be
lost in this process.
Catch the Scene.
Hence the great value to landscape
painters Of swiftness IN sketchlng from
nature. A vast deal OF Sorolla's talent
consists in this ability 20 seize the
quickly vanishing effects Of nature It
has been said that his pictures are
merely his sketches. and there Is some
truth In tits The same charge has
been brought against Daubigny's pic
lures. Theophue GautIer wrote IN 1851
1t IL truly = pity that N. Daubigny,
TINS landscape painter with a sentiment
so true. JUS, and natural. contents him
self with 4 first impression. and neg
lects at this point the details His pic
lures are no more than sketches, and
sketches little advanced"
These remarks. however do u6* hold
true with respect TO ali OF the Al lists
works. for there are examples OF DaU-
bigny which are in every desirable re-
spect complete as pictures. NJ cast
iron law can be laid down which shall
apply 10 all painters for, as Mr. Ocht-
man remarks. the student should choose
his own method OF painting his pictures
IL Is only the result that counts.
Many landscape painted in the open
air looks less fresh. less uaturG.. less
true. than other pictures painted IN the
studio from IuerIory and notcs.-Boston
