Studio-Talk

BY FRED STRATTON

For those interested in
modern pictures an addi-
tion to the pleasures of
the Bond Street neigh-
bourhood has been made
by the removal of the
Baillie Gallery to Bruton Street. The fine set of
galleries at No. 13 have been very effectively
re-constructed and decorated. The first exhibi-
tion included many interesting works—paintings

In The Village Shop, Saturday Night, one feels,
as it were, the beauty of all quiet summer nights
in all English villages ; just as the water-colour,
The Last Load, would appear to hymn pictorially

“ AN APRIL DAY

the restful gloaming finish
of all haymakings. Mr.
Stratton’s love of the
woodlands, and his in-
tense feeling for the beauty
of sunlight, find expression
in his most recent pictures,
of which A Summer Idyll
is a beautiful example.
An April Day and The
Back of the Farm show
the artist in other land-
scape moods of appealing
interest. M. C. S.
