as an example of Mr. J. Walter West's work is
The Ladies of St. James's. A painting by Mr. F. C.
Cowper, entitled Mariana in the South, shows in
its highly wrought detail considerable skill in ren-
dering the surfaces of different materials. Dorset
Downs is painted by Mr. Herbert Alexander with a
curious sensitiveness to the minor phenomena of
nature, the freshness of meadow grass finding real
interpretation in the quality of his paint. Mr. D. Y.
Cameron, in his Ben Lomotid, Sunset, makes a
considerable contribution to the strength of the
exhibition. Messrs. R. Thorne Waite, Reginald
Barratt, Louis Davis, Mathew Hale, C. Napier
Hemy, and J. W. North, A.R.A., send works of
achievement upon which the society have learnt to
depend. Messrs. Walter Bayes, Arthur Rackham
and E. J. Sullivan, three artists from whom one is
always sure of originality, are well represented in
the quality of the few works they send this year.
At the Carfax Gallery Mr. D. S. MacColl exhibits
some water-colour drawings. His work is charac-
terised by sensitiveness to colour and by a selective
faculty for sketching. Mr. MacColl well under-
stands the fascination of an artistic interpretation
of the incidental in life—the incident that pertains
to work in the market-place and on the quay.
Sometimes he but stains his drawing, and at others
the pencil scaffolding is lost in many afterthoughts
of colour; but there is always the same aim, a
happy summary of architecture or of a romantic
glimpse through trees. With great economy of
means he suggests the first vivid impression that at
every turn greets a critic whose instincts are truly
those of a painter.
LIVERPOOL.—A combined exhibition at
the Liverpool Royal Institution recently
brought together a varied and interesting
group of works in oil and water-colour,
mainly impressionist in character, by a quintet of
local artists, Gerard Chowne, Hamilton Hay, De
Wit Van der Hoop, Miss Enid Jackson, and
Alison Martin. In his studies of flowers Gerard
Chowne is decidedly successful, and the ability to
produce attractive portraits is in Ma Donna and
the Artist's Mother effectively demonstrated.
J. Hamilton Hay's instinctive artistic refinement
displays itself in his subtle cloud effects, delicate
snow pieces, moonlit landscapes, and bold sea-
scapes, with foam and curling wave crests painted
with the keenest observation. His versatility is
