The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-12-11

Hall, Punahou College, and contrary
to former occasions, tickets will be
on sale for all who may care to listen
to Honolulu's choicest musical talent
Formerly, only members and their
guests we're invited, but the program
being so excellent and former concerts
given under the auspices of the league
being so popular, it was deemed ad-
visable to offer an opportunity to every
one for such rare treat.
Mrs Henry Bicknell whose efforts
on behalf of the circle have been I'M
firing, is responsible for securing talent
whose reputation and worth are wen
known and whose ability will tempt
music lovers to he concert.
| Cards are out for an informal recep-
ton to be given at the Kilohana Art
League on Saturday evening, Deem
Der eighteenth, from seven thirty till
ten O'Clock. introducing Miss Raymond
of Brooklyn, N. Y, when an exhibition
of her marvellous water color scenes
of northern and southern California
will be on view.
Mis- Raymond may well be called the
California Artist, as most of her time
has been spent there She has come
to Honolulu with numerous letters, and
has aroused the interest and enthu-
siasm of our leading artists here, and
her wonderful brush has revealed
weaI,I of color in natural beauties.
Miss Raymond is enthusiastic III 1er
chosen life's work, and is teeming with
talent. One rarely sees in Homo
lulu such art as will be exhibited at
her reception, and it is to be hoped
that all who are interested in real
worth will take advantage of the OPP
portunity of seeing her beautiful
paintings.
The first one shown will be The
Giant Redwood" showing the lower
half of a charred monster on the eX-
IRENE edge of a creek. The strength
and perspective of this picture are re-
markable. 1t is pure in color, and
good in quality, the reflection of the
tree, as vivid and artistic as it is pos
sible to be. 1t is a dream of redoisn
tones contrasting wonderfully with
pastelle green's, and was done in GAIA
dero, California.
In the Woods is marvel of beau
ty, impossible to describe. The glim-
mer of the late Pickering sun is here
very perfect, the sun beams hitting
with true conceit the trunk OF a tree,
and the stones below lurking in pur-
pie and lavender shadows
The Alders, Late Afternoon" is a
striking picture. The yelpows of
the sun vie with purple shadows, and
a mauve and lavender tinted path
which winds away ito oblivion
And as if in contrast, is Emerald
Bay, Lake Tahoe, bewilderingly irri-
descent with opalescent hues. Here
they are in marvellous profusion from
Ultra marine blue shading up, up to
the palest green imaginable. And
beyond far far off rises Mount fallac
dreamily hazy and languid, yet strong
and bold in suggestion even through
the veil of misty silence that envelopes
it,
THE Road to the Creek, Early
Morning is very strong and bold in
outline, and Eucalyptus Trees in
Piedmont Park is a quaint and ORR
ginal conception.
"A Windy Day at Lake Tahoe" is
full of wonderful tones, and the
Scenes at Ocean Beach, San Diego, -
iare remarkable for the brilliancy Of
their cliffs and the very pleasing quail
ity of the water.
But the dalntiest bits of water color
that perhaps have even come to Ho-
nOlulu are evident in Riverside" and
'Redlands" where beneath distant
snow1capped peaks spread fields of
delicate wild flowers all in bloom
fields of them, Lupits in one scene,
their delicate lavender blossoms in a
mass covering the foreground. In
the other is a field of Ragged Robin
Roses, mass of them, as dainty a
bit of coloring as one could ever eX-
pect to see, those pink wild roses
spreading out under purple snow tip
ped mountains-think of it,
Miss Raymond is in every sense of
the word an artist, and not only has
she the soul of one, but possesses the
hand that can execute her wealth of
color and ideas. There is too. variety
in her work, the rugged strength of
the north, accentuated by her delicate
touches depicting southern scenes.
