MORRIS LOOMS
 AS PAINTER IN
 WATER C0L0RS
One of His Works on Ex- hibition Tn Ordway
 Scenic Shop

A painting by L. r. Morris, well known business man of Juneau, is on exhibition at the Alaska Scenic Views shop, and is the center of interest in an attractive window display. The subject is a black cub bear climbing a dead spruce tree near Aux Lake and the back ground, showing Aux Lake and Mendenhall Glacier. is faithfully reproduced MT. Morris talent as water color artist is plainly evil dent in this piece of work. Ani- mals in action are difficult subjects at best, and the artist has caught something of the expression or the cubs face that closely resembles the original photograph which in- spired the painting.
 These photographs to be seen in the Ordway shop were used to il- lustrate an article by Frank Du- fresne. of the Biological Survey, in the February number of Sunset. Dufresne has written an interest ing account of the escapades of the cub around Juneau last summer, and the article occupies a promi- nent place in the magazine.
 Mir. Morris has two other paint ings of merit. one landscape and the other an ornamental glass vase overflowing with grapes and other fruit, both in water color. The subject is purely imaginary. as the artist had no model for his paint Ing.
 MT. Morris intends to pursue lis artistic bent for commercial pur- poses.
