EIwood Morris Paintings
Autumn woods and landscapes, done |
with appreciation and a knowledge of
nature as it exists in Indiana, form one
| of the most delightful notes in the |
collection of eight paintings by Eli !
wood Morris, which are hung in the |
exhibit. In Woodland Streams" there
is serenity and dignity. The sky
touched with notified rose tinted |
clouds overspreads a woodland scene |
in which the twilight is deepening.
| Another beautiful picture by Morris
is an autumn scene especially pleasing
| in color. 1t has road on the hill
which sinks into the valley beyond.
Though Mr. Morris has shown a par
TALLY to fall scenes they are very YER
satile in the variant moods they por-
tray.
Still Life Studies
Elmira Kempton is showing a
charming still life picture of yellow
blossoms and yellow candles, painted
4 against a background of blue, laven-
der and deeper blue, the golden note
being repeated in a copper burner be-
: side the vase of flowers. "a Summer
Afternoon" is a pleasing canvas, col
orful with a patch of hollyhocks. A
canvas of spring, with redbud trees
: and an old stone wall along a small
!, stream, is another of Miss Kempton'5
pictures.
An interesting note is lent by three
canvases by Mrs. ]. E. Cathell which
; she painted at Sanibel Island in Flori-
da early last spring. Sand and blue
colors predominant because of the
,, lack of vegetation. "Cocoanut Palms"
Beach at Sanibel" and "A Seascape"
comprise this collection. END of the
Porch" is another lovely canvas in
! her group.
!, One Picture Entered.
Blanche Wait has only one picture
{ in the exhibit this year, a delightful
bit of portraiture entitled Youth" the
{ subject being young girl in blue
t gown with touches of red trimming.
= Elizabeth Comstock, who exhibited
, some excellent canvases last year, has
& one still life this fall, which is rep
c resentative of her best work. An
: exotic bit of color is given out by a
/. gay handful of flowers stuck careless
: ly into bowl and painted against a
v rose-color background. The colors are
0 pure, clear, and high in key.
q Good Winter Scene
A winter scene, Sunlight and
Shadow" is one of three very good
9 canvases entered by Oliver j. Erbs
, 1t depicts trees alongside a picket
: fence, both of them casting blue
> shadows across the snow-covered
ground. Green beches by a pool have
been the subject for another of his
> canvases, Midsummer Beeches"

Youngest Exhibitor.
e Marston Hodgin, the youngest ex
q hibitor, already is known to many per
D. sons through the pictures he has had
r in the junior art exhibitions the past
d two years when he was a student in
/ the high school. A portrait of himself
|. is perhaps the most interesting of his
group, though not so finished as some
* of his landscapes. The features arc
I. well-molded and in this as in his othel
ID pictures, the artist shows unusua
,e promise. Full of imagination is {
