- HRS JORGENSEN had a paint
ing Of the Colorado canyon on
- exhibition at Courvoisier's in
Suffer street for a few days.
which represented the canyon in its
many differing color tones with a hdel-
ity absolutely startling. These won
derful tones-lflsc, green. lavender. red,
rich yellows and brilliant purples-form
a kaleidoscope of color difficult TO re-
produce on canvas. The effect of Jor-
gensen's painted rock cliffs is magnifi-
Gently impressive. Old castles and but
tressed fortresses seem to rise among
the rocks as il fashioned by mighty
architects and builders. The canyon is
a prolific subject for painting and is
artist when endeavoring 10 depict It's
wonderful mingling harmonies.
Miss Clara Hill has established her
self permanently in the studio left
vacant by Miss Florence Lundbors,
who sailed from New York for Europe
April 80. Miss Hill has felt the limi-
tations of her former studio in Califor-
MIA street when engaged on piece Of

large, airy and we'll lighted studio she
now occupies in Sacramento street will
be an incentive TO work on large pieces.
Just now she is engaged in the model
ing Of a fountain. the design represent
ing small child padding in the
waters, which is intended for the coun-
try home of DR.. Tevis near Los Gatos.
This work promises to hold all the ad
mirable individuality and charm of con-
ception seen in all of Miss HiIrs sculp
ture work Her virile and delicate
modelling is Invariably pleasure to the
eye.
Theodore wores, who has received
high praise for his exhibition Of
landscape of Marin county at the re-
cent display of work by the Art insti-
tute. has a portrait of Mrs. r. II. Miner
in the loan exhibition of portraits in
the Blanchard gallery in Los Angeles.
The portrait is said to be excellent and
emphasizes the fact that Wores will
make good his claim that he intends to
do a good deal of portrait work in the
future. In the same exhibition is the
latest portrait by Joseph Greenbaum-
one of little Miss Kahn sitting at
tea table surrounded by her dolls. This
work has received much attention, the
naturalness OF the little sitter being
strongly brought out. and the acces-
sories painted in with broad handling
and an eye to right elimina ton which
make the picture treasure of art.
A. ". Coulter. who has number of
his paintings on view at the Mer-
chants exchange, has been for some
time at work on a large marine which
he has been painting in the building.
His sea scenes are full OF vigor and
show the water and ships in every con-
ceivable aspect. All the Coulter
paintings are OF good size, which gives
them a breadth and sweep Of space and
horizon far from displeasing.
The Bookworkers' guild. comprising
craft workers from all parts Of the
United States, opened its exhibition by
a reception held last evening IN the old
TIFFANY studio in New York. which
was crowded to the doors by a throng
eager to see the latest efforts in deli
cate and curious designs. Some ex-
tremeIy handsome books were shown, as
well as many other articles of unusual
merit. odd design and excellent work
manship. The Misses Holden Of this
city sent a number of books bound in
diversified and curiously intricate de-
signs. which displayed all the skill for
which these workers in arts and crafts
are known
