The Black Frame
Sketch Club exhibition is
always a very interesting
exhibition of oil sketches.
This year they have ex-

but the word "sketch"
in the title of the club

all processes of finish and

eous panels from nature.
It is in these latter that
the club excels. Some of
the pictures which should
be mentioned are the
