Studio-Talk
J. Denovan Adam, Rivals, an interior with cattle,
by George Smith, and a very powerful work entitled
Border/and, by James Paterson. There is much
accomplished work and a fine interpretation of
theme in A Border Ballad by W. S. MacGeorge
where the artist treats of a wounded knight.
Sunshine and Shadow by J. Muirhead is a pic-
turesque view of an old-world fishing village over-
looking the sea. R. G. Hutchison displays clever
painting and grouping in Halloween, though the
tone is a little out. By the Banks and Hedge-
rows, a notable figure and landscape composition
by J. Lockhead, is capital for colour and arrange-
ment. Wellwood Rattray's seapiece In Wind atid
Bain ; George Aikman's Benvenue ; the Outward
Bound of J. Campbell Noble; and the exhibits
of John Smart, C. A. Sellar, W. D. McKay, J.
Lawton Wingate, and J. Thorburn Ross are repre-
sentative and noteworthy. D. M.
ST. IVES.—The Cornish Painters have
been gathering in their sheaves, and
St. Ives held recently a sort of harvest
home festival whereat their pictures
were shown to all comers. I was only
able to go hastily round them on a Sunday after-
noon, and this is what has been caught in the
meshes of my somewhat treacherous memory.
Of the ladies, Mrs. Harewood Robinson has an
Ancient Mariner who, with the fated crew, is
176
straining a fearful and haggard gaze towards the
phantom ship which must be appearing in the
region of the setting sun, whose glow strikes ruddily
upon their faces. Miss Bell has a picture of the
Annunciation painted with great strength and in a
flat and archaic manner. Miss Kirkpatrick shows
a damsel in white amongst bluebells and with sun-
light glinting through trees.
Mr. Harewood Robinson has a picture of misty
evening—a red sun sinking behind a bank of cool
clouds. Mr Talmage has been amongst tall pines
and has seen the moon rise in silver over the grey
sea beyond. Mr. Eastlake has been in many
places, but amongst others where a waterbrook
winds by a row of trees between whose stems can
be seen a line of cottages, the lights of which are
beginning to twinkle, or rather to glow in the per-
vading grey of the evening. Mr. Arnesby Brown
shows some cows moving slowly homeward—
winter trees stand tall beyond all warmed by the
evening light. Of Mr. Olsson's work I have pre-
viously spoken ; he has, however, another picture,
of a deep blue sea, a sun-smitten islet and a
scourging burst of rain sweeping across. Mr.
Louis Grier has painted a river scene at night.
The stars glitter overhead, and the lines of lights
mark the wharves of a maritime city; a tug, with
red and green lights showing, is feeling her way
round the curving shallows, with her seaward-
wending charge. N. G.
