Artist Makes Novel Sketches
"Sky-lines.' a set of three interesting
sketches by Miss Edna Robson OF this
city, are attracting attention in the
window of the Hall q Martin store.
Miss Robson has found right here in
prosaic, staid old Davenport an inspir-
alton for some good work in the build
ing that is going on of the new Black
hawk hotel, and has reproduced the
mammoth structure in all of it's tech
meal and architectural detail of bare
red ribs of steel. yellow and red brick
and white stone, and yet has given to
each sketch something of the warmth
of atmosphere and the feeling OF q
picture. Miss Robson has been inter
ested in out-of-door work for some
time past, finding 1t holds more inspir-
alton than china painting or miniature
work at both of which she has been
successful. Miss Robson had a small
exhibit a year or more ago of scenes
in and around Bettendorf that were
good and attracted attention, but her
later work shows progress in greater
depth of feeling, better coloring and
more atmosphere. She has also on ex-
hibit with the Blackhawk hotel
sketches little study in color of the
river bank taken from just below the
Davenport Boat club.
