DDS AND ENDS
FROM ED-
WARD PEN-
FIELD'S STU-
DIO
IN A RECENT issue of THE
INTERNATIONAL STUDIO, 'our
readers will recall noting the
delightful home which the
Rochester (N. Y.) Country
Club has set up for itself in
the Genesee country, and
the striking mural decora-
tions done for it by Mr. Ed-
ward Penheld. The fox hunt
frieze that appropriately
graced the walls of the As-
sembly Room will be remem-
bered in reproduction. There
was also shown the frieze that
decorated the dining room, a
string of roosters perched on
a twisted vine among green
leaves and clusters of purple
grapes. As we were digging
down in a box of odds and
ends in Mr. Penheld's studio
the other day, we came upon
these old friends in
the tracing repro-
duced on this page.
"That's only a
drawing for the frieze," said Air. Penheld, "and,
then, you have shown it on the walls of the room
already."
There was once a young student, not too devoted
to the details of architectural glories, who, being
called upon in class to describe "St. Paul's Without
the Walls," exclaimed," What!
Just the roof?." But that, as
Mr. Kipling says,in the phrase
that has apparently been ac-
corded an international pat-
ent, is another story. Here at
any rate are the roosters with-
out the walls. And they are
worth seeing in this better
proportion, though the colour
schemeis lost here. One would
say that they plainly had come
from without the walls, as be-
fits a country club set on the
outermost fringe of an old
apple orchard.
Mr. Penheld will take note
of colour or form with brush
or pencil, whenever the gods
are pleased to manifest it; the
open country is much to his
mind and often speaks in his
work. The rustic visitor to
town appeals to him, too,
during the winter, perhaps as
a reminder of the less sophis-
ticated world beyond the city
limits, as witness the sketches
of roosters shown on another
page, which he jot-
ted down at a re-
cent poultry show.
"Those are col-
our, that's all," the artist protested as we pulled
them out. "There's not much form about them.
You'll not find anything in that box, I'm afraid.
They're just odds and ends."
Mr. Penheld works on definite commissions,
finishes them and usually leaves not a rack behind.
