Mrs. Jane C. Staniey's
Solo Mexican Show.
It's sad, It's true, but today will be
the final exhibition of Mrs. Jane C.
Stanleys solo Mexican show of nlori-
fed water colors at the Corcoran Gal
lerles. To anyone who has spent days
OF brilliant sunshine wandering about
OLD Mexico. nosing into out of -the-wav
places and watching the crowds of
gayly dressed natives strolling through
the plaza on moonlit, late Summer
night when the bands are PLAYING
ole Spanish airs, and the romantic
looking men in gay serapes and big
black sombreros embroidered in gold
or silver cast magnetic glances at the
young girls in full-skirted, brightly
nowered dresses, Mrs. Stanley's exhibit
ton brings back memories too ro-
mantle for this work-a-day world. She
has caught the spirit not only of the
Old World architectural beauty. the
lights and shadows, but the soul of the
human environments
1t is plain to the observer, and par.
ticularly after talking with her, that
her Irish temperament has a great in
fluence on her art. There is lightness
and joy and a certain aggressiveness
that comes with the fighting Irish dis
position. She was born out in De-
trolt. but spent many of her earlier
years in birmingham, Mass. where
her father took his little family during
an epidemic in Detroit They lived on
a farm, where she had the same tu-
tors with her brothers and where she
led much the outdoor life with them.
She says she does not really know
just when she began to paint, that
she must have always visioned on
canvas any scenery that particularly
impressed her. She studied the vio-
lin, but always found herself turning
to Nature; the beauty of landscape and
sky caused her thoughts to wander.
The family returning to Detroit in
her early teens, she spent hours on
the. lake with her brothers, who were
fond Of sailing. The water fascinated
her and, being a serious student of
mathematics-which she liked i'm
mensely-it was geometry that she
spent longest time on; the exact
science, the drawing of figures and
cubes, the symmetry of circles inter-
ested her and she attributes her good
craftsmanship to her study of geo.
metry. When sailing with her brothers,
helping them to mend the boats or
sails, she learned every outline of a
boat. One of her most charming
pictures in the show is of boats, La
Malbaie, Quebec; Rocks at Low Tide,
