in the exhibit than Mr.. Hopkins paint
ing of a sleeping girl called "Reflec-
tions." No direct light falls on the
body, but only reflections, each cast
ing some lovely color as it falls. The
finish with which the picture has
been done is indescribable.
Coats Represented
Randolph L. Coats, who is a former
Richmond man and winner of the
Mary T. R. Foulke prize last winter.
is represented by some of the best
canvases which he has ever exhibited
here. Among them is his portrait of
Mr.. Greenburg," which recently took
two prizes at the Indiana State fair.
Among the figures he is showing one,
Gertrude" similar in some respects
| to his lola" which hangs in the gal
lery's permanent collection.
| A lovely landscape is "Housetops
and Bay" in which one looks across
| the roofs of little coast town to a
bright blue bay flecked with white
sails, and then far on beyond the bay
| to the white clouds above the distant
dunes.
"Riverview Gossip" the largest of
! Mr.. Coats's pictures, was painted
among the tenementS along the Ohio
river in Cincinnati. A small picture
rich in color entitled "Sesco's Gar
den" which was shown here last
! spring, is again on exhibition. The
garden, which is an outdoor restau-
rant in Provincetown, Mass, has been
favorite subject for many artists.
Mr. Weis is also showing a couple of
! pictures of Ceso's and Mrs. Maude
Kaufman Eggemeyer, who spent
| some time in Provincetown this sum
mer, has pictures which she painted
at the same place.
! Offers Contrast
Pennsylvania Yards, painted on
a rainy day, from a height overlooking
the railroad yards with steaming en-
gines on the tracks, and the blurred
outline of great spanning bridge
above, offers contrast to the other
pictures Mr.. Coats is showing.
One of the finest bits of portraiture
on exhibit is the Sketch of Joe" by
John E. Weis. A dark-haired, ruddy
faced boy is depicted Only the head
has been finished, the rest of the pic
ture being roughly suggested in such
a manner as TO give the effect of 6
pastel.
One Of the best landscapes which
Mr.. Weis is showing is Fields il
June" which hangs to the left of Cum
berland Children Rich bright col
ors have been used in the fields which
flank the road to the distant village
The tone gradations from the brillian
foreground to the town in the dis
lance have been executed so skillfull1
, that they are scarcely perceptible.
Delightful Landscape
Fog" is another delightful land
scape painted by Mr. Weis in which
high color notes are subdued by tn
misty fog. The deepest color tones Il
the picture are in a tree and boat il
