Sydney Yard. whose works have been
much in demand and almost impossible

Aaro's paintings are well known all
along this coast. and these pictures,
which have just been gathered togeth-
er, show him at his strongest and best
u is hard TO make q definite choice as
te which is the most perfect or which
viii appeal the most. They are all
handled with vlgOr Of treatment and
- -beldness- Of touch, and with a light
aetherealness that is half of their charm.
One Of the gems Of the collection is Of
the city Of Monterey. taken from the
foothills. beneath a wonderful blue sky
swept with gray and silver clouds.
Through the riffs shines a wealth of
yellow sunlight, giving 10 the whole
spring landscape. blended into softness
by mingled sun and shadow, a delicate
atmospheric effect.
The Monterey Coast" a larger paint
ing, shows the blue-gre ocean with
its purple lights beneath a gray and
purple sky, with a storm threatening
and a distant view OF darker purple
cliffs and rugged trees. Skillfully and
powerfully handled. with long, sweep
ing strokes, the foreground is a stretch

green bushes. wind bent. breaking the

: preston and is executed with power
and deep feeling.
Scene at Inverness" painted with
tender glow on hills and water, is
study from the canyon of the wooded
shore, showing trees and fern clad
banks shading from green TO gold in
THE flood OF afternoon sunlight. The
hills are a golden pink and the sky just
touched with purple tones.

blue distances and green meadows wet
with the early spring rains. The light
OF day still fingers in the pool in the
foreground and the shadows beneath
the trees are dark with the afterglow.
Another picture shows only bit of

sunny corner Of nature, with a round

grass; but under Yards magic brush
il. has assumed q wonderful glow that
calls one back to the land Of green
fields and running brooks"
All these paintings will be shown at
the gallery during the coming fort
night and will doubtless be of great
interest because of the late demand
for paintings by this eminent artist,
whose death was a great loss to the
California art colony.
John NJ Gamble, who has spent the
last few months on a tour of Egypt,
Asia Minor and Europe. where he has
done considerable sketching. arrived
home yesterday. spending fortnight
or so in this city prior TO starting for
Pasadena. Some Of CANDLES most in

Schussler Brothers in Sutter street, and

of the local galleries. He viii leave
shortly for Arizona, as he intends TO
spend the summer months painting
desert scenes, and the wonderful untold
depths of the heart of Arizona, a field

Arizona he viii reopen his studio in

Amande Juliahn has returned from

present, having lately taken possession

artists association, but the majority

Some good canvases, the work Of
W F. Jackson, curator Of the Crocker
galleries in Sacramento, have been sent
recently to Rabjohn & Morcom's in Post
street and will be put on exhibition
some time this week. Jackson's work
is warm and rich in tone and vigorous
in treatment, wild flowers and the
spring season in the Sacramento valley
being always a favorite theme. Many
Of the choicest spots in the San Joaquin
valley and around Sacramento and
Rosedale have been worked up by Jack
son into glowing canvases, many Of
which viii be included in the comm &

best
Miss n. de Neale Morgan entertained
at a large reception last Saturday aft
ernoon in her Carmel studio, where she
gave q private exhibition OF her late
paintings. Miss Morgan has recently
returned from a leisurely trip along
the coast Of southern California, and
the sketches of ocean and mountain
taken then form the nucleus of the
present display. She works entirely in
water colors, in an individual style
that is ethereal, subtle and very, at
tractive Many Of her smaller canvases
are shown IN all the art galleries of
this city, and a number are also hung
in the Del Monte art gallery.
The ocean and bay and the sand
dunes. with their ever changing lights
and coIors, are favorite studies with
her. especially the coast scenery along
Monterey and Carmel In her present
exhibition are many Of these scenes,
done with great delicacy and feeling
ali the lights and shades of the land
scape from early morning glow to the
last shades Of afternoon being worked
up in her paintings, which reveal her
close and intimate study of nature
One Of the most charming Of those
displayed is a characteristic bit OF
mountain and sea handled with a trans
perency Of touch and brightness OF
color that gives an opalescent hue to
the entire scene.
