brown rolling foreground with its
green, grassy hollow. its clustering
oaks and its cows in pasture. IT is
one of his best canvases and shows
the brilliant work Neuhaus is doing
along this new line.
From St Helena have come two at
tractive water color sketches. the lat
est work OF Miss Minnie Sheppard.
whose exhibition at one of the local
galleries will be one of the largest of
the spring displays. Her work is noted
for its daintiness of touch, these two
new samples of her style on view at
Schussler's being no exception to the
general rule.
Lake Pleasant is noticeable partic-
ularly for the striking atmospheric ef-
feet of the shadows in the cool green
of the water of the famous old reser-
beach. The blue of the sky is in vivid
contrast to the light yellow, green
tones of grass and foliage
CLOSE OF Day is the more appeal
ing of the two sketches. Tt is worked
up in a very warm tone. in shades OF
purple gray. 1t is the close OF a damp
day and the heavy masses OF lowering
clouds cast a rich. dark shadow on the
landscape over which is slowly drift
ing the dimness Of twilight. The cy-
press trees TO the right are well
brought out, and the distant rain
washed town Is clearly and cleverlv
handled in the gathering evening
shades.
Miss Sheppard has most of her best
work in her studio. which is one OF the
most fascinating in st. Helena

in this city is that of Miss darcy Cav
