ART EXHIBIT IS
VERY ATTRACTIVE
Work of Idaho Artists At
tracts Much Attention
From Fair Visitors.

The more one studies the art exhibit
at the fair the more really fine senti
ment is found in much of the work
The outward expression of the
thought which the painter cherishes
meets warm response many times.
Miss Bess Campbell, who exhibits
fine, strong work in landscapes and
other lines at the Artists league exhi-
bitions, has only a small collection of
china this time, exquisite and dainty;
but her fellow artists would have been
pleased to see something more, for her
work is very clever.
To every ones regret. Mrs. Nc
Clear, president of the Columbian CLUB,
who is a clever artist, is not exhibiting
this year and she has some new pic
lures, too. An attack of the grip came
al the time when she should have been
preparing her studies. They VIII be
seen. however. during the winter when
the Artists league gives it's winter eN-
hibition.
There are a number of remarkably
good things in the amateur work. Roy
Oswald ShaWan has fine pastel
study in reds and Colds an Idaho land
scape with which we are all familiar
in the fall when the poplar trees are
turning yellow, the hills are bare and
wide patches of golden light fall on the
J level ground. ANY one who has studied
the late afternoons in autumn. either
down the valley or near town know
4 the gold and orange and purple splen-
dor of an Idaho Waning Day." and
the boy artist caught the inspiration.
Mrs. F. NJ. Watts has a pretty collec-
tion of paintings, some of very recent
work.
IDA1O WILD FLOWERS.
Idaho Wild Flowers" were repre-
scented by pretty little painting of
! Idaho wild roses. and by cluster or
large rcd peoples, which must have
been from tame seed planted many
years ago and whose hayward chll-
dren crept through the fence and as
the years passed by went rioting out
into the fields where these were found
by the artist who painted them. There
is case of this kind on the Idaho city
road where clump of ten weeks stock
or bouncing Bet" which grew 30 years
ago by an old cabin has spread along
the roadside and slipped down over the
bank to the very water edge of the
creek The seeds will be carried by the
current, perhaps. and find Judgment
become a wild flower. Artists can only
paint what they see and discover and
each one has different point OF view
PHOTOGRAPHIC SCENERY.
The examples of photographed seen
cry are positive delight to those who
hit the trail" every summer for BRIEF
communion with nature. Among them
is striking picture of Bear valley with
a pack train coming through toward
Lowman. Then there are dozens OF
scenes from mountain and canyon. lax {
and stream. snowy submits as grand
as those of Switzerland to which
campers ride ON sure footed horses
lonely gorges and almost impenetraolc
points where the forest ranger Is the
only human being who disturbs the
calm OF the wilderness.
The use to which the native products
are being put is significant. To repeat
in part what was said yesterday. 1t Il
a good thing to see how Idaho artists
are utilizing their native soils ano
grasses, our tree banks and cones, biti
of ore and branches of willow in theii
work. Pottery, moulding of any kind
basket and mat weaving, metal work
from Idaho metals and work on leath.
