Picture Described
There are two clumps of willows,
one in the center, the other to the
right corner of the picture, and 4
stream in the foreground Beyond, lit
by cloud-dimmed sunlight, is field
which rolls far on into distant clumps
81 trees and buildings. Rolling clouds
above change to a deep violet hue
w9zE5 e.sey meet the skyline. The
colors are very low in key and the
picture is singularly lacking in detail
which makes it more impressionistic
than Mr.. Bundy's pictures usually are
N Rich in the soft, luxuriant colors OF
fall and in the detail which the artist
loves SO well, is another canvas by
Mr. Bundy, called in the Edge OF tbs
Wood" This picture, as we'll as the
canvas Woodland" is characteristic
of some of Bundy's best pieces. Per
feet in balance, serene in rich, qu1e;
color, the contour of the sloping for
est glade, the placid pool, the smoky
haze that wells the sky, all lend tbs
restful atmosphere of a fading autumn
day.
Bakers Exhibit
Three pastels and four oils compose
the representation of George H. Baker
another of the best known local art
lists. One of the loveliest of his pas
tells is Three Trees" decorative, i'm

oils is a soft picture glowing with tn
fading rays of setting sun. The larg
est of Bakers pictures is "Mid-Sum

above a deserted road which bends on
of view between tall trees which ris
on either side.

Brown Canvass Interesting.
Francis F. Brown has 10 canvase
all of them unusually interesting an
Astounding with the imaginative touc
which typifies his art. A touch of l
cal color is lent by a canvas done ;
Hawkins pond, red bath-housE
against a summer sky, that shimms
in blue water below. In "a Myst
Gray Day" the artist has employed a
interesting color scheme of gree'
sand, blue, and purple woven out of
pool with sandy banks stretching fro
its edge to a growth of bushes.
"Springtime on Whitewater" show
the Main street bridge in the distanC
with slender willows, and red-br
trees in the foreground springing c
banks which slope to the stream. TW
canvases of springtime abound in
quivering, ecstatic feeling of spriI
and are particularly lovely in color.
