MS eastern trip most of his time was
spent in Milwaukee, where he painted
portraits of about Is of the prominent

painting is really his life work. and
along this line he has already won
quite name for himself both here and
In Honolulu, where he lived for some
months- His studio is very attractive,

in his studio. which have already won
fame. One of the most attractive bv
him is a copy made in Paris of Rem
brants The Pilgrims of Emauo The
subject and study appealed to him
more than any other, and for his own
fancy he painted it as a souvenir of his

several beautiful portraits on view and
some pleasing little Swiss scenes. Land

although the only two in his studio are
well handled and are very rich and true

history department of the state IL
