THE BACK OF THE FARM
responsive. He seeks inspiration from her in
many of her moods, but preferably her gentler or
more elusive moods,
which call for all the
subtle insight of the artist,
and his breadth of vision,
to interpret their tender
beauty. From the mystic
charm of twilight, and the
wonder and the mystery
of the night, Mr. Stratton
seems, as if by some
magic sympathy, to draw
the secrets of tones ex-
quisite in their harmonies.
And through those har-
monies he expresses the
poetical significance of the
scene with such spiritual
intuition and artistic sim-
plicity that one forgets
the paint. Yet what a
fine pure quality of paint
it is, and how luminously it renders the colours of
the night revealed to the painteFs glowing vision.
