BY ELIZABETH WAGGoNER
Among the canvases on view at the
art exhibition of the Chautauqua asso-
citation in Long Beach are number by
Calfornia's woman painters that make
a most creditable showing. In addi-
ton to the fine portraits by Hclma
Heynson jain, already mentioned in
reviewing the exhibition there is
portrait by Lillian Drain and also
figure piece, "KimonO Girl" rich in
color and showing careful study in the
treatment of the hands. Elizabeth
Borglums FLAMING Tokays" is an
excellent example of her mastery OF
color, and other interesting pieces of
still life painting are shown by Jessie
Washburn and Mary Harland. M. S.
Dunlap's Morning, Maine Coast Is
a canvas that possesses much charm
in it's very simplicity. Nell Danely
BroOker shows one of her strongest
landscapes, alyptus-Afternoon,
and a color poem, Twin oaks, one
of the largest canvases from her faclle
brush. Helen Coan's Rainy Twilight
Chinatown" is most alluring, and
her "Sailboat at Sunset possesses a
delightful decorative quality. l.. r.
Garden Macleod sends La Danseuse,
an interesting canvas showing bold'
strong brush work. 'The Girl in
White" Ida S. Prices salon painting,
is an ambitious undertaking handled
with skill and exquisite delicacy-a
canvas that would be noteworthy In
any exhibition.
William Swift Daniel is represented
by two water colors, Sumner and
"Winter,' both truthful interpretations
of nature in widely varying moods. w.
e. Sharp shows two small landscapes
possessing the delicate subtle quality
that characterizes his work. j. Bond
Francisco, in his sunlight and
Shadow has caught an unusual aspect
of nature and depicted it with unerring
brush, and his Lumber Team Is
marked by the same veracity. William
Lees Judson exhibits two canvases
showing him to be a deVout lover OF
nature Summer Sea-" realistic
marine, in pleasing contrast to the
serenity of the sunlit hillside in ms
Golden Sunshine" Eugene Torrey
shows his salon painting, The ToWh
Crier," and figure study in water
color that is delightfully."- soft and har-
monious in color-most agreeable in 1ts
tonality. Frank ]. Girardin sends one
of his familiar bits of woodland that
differ from the California scenes on
every hand. Two most interesting
small canvases are from the brush or
Detleff Sammann, landscapes full OF
life and motion with their shimmering,
all-pervading blow of light. The moon
light effects of John A. Donovan are
decorative both in color and compost
ton, "A Channel Moonlight" being
especially lovely with its rejected
lights. No exhibition of aquarelles
would be complete without something
from the studio of Norman st. CAR,
and he has sent two of his most dis
tinctive California subjects, "GarVanze
Hills and arroyo Sycamores.
The exhibition will remain open, free

Of the 300 water colors and pastels
shown at the forty-third annual eX-
hibition of the American Water Color
society Marion Kavanaugh WachteP S
Evening STAR was one of those Sc
lected for special mention in the July
number of Palette and Bench. In
speaking of this painting and its har-
mony and color the critic says: 1.-The
artist, who lives in California, is evt-
IDENTIFY familiar with the large aspects
of nature and has well suggested the
big feeling of silence and the vastness
of the desert, over which the deep blue
shades of night are descending while
the days pale glow still fingers above
the horizon The stately quiet figures,
with gaze fixed on the dark unknown
contrast we'll with the glowing sky
behind them"
