"landscape, Kirkcudbright"
(Purchased by the Scottii
of quality, consequently production is limited.
Consistent painting in Holland and a decided
appreciation of Dutch Art may unconsciously
influence him in the direction of a Dutch style,
but he has by no means reached finality, and his
work to-morrow may excel that of to-day, as greatly
as this is in advance of yesterday's.
Conspicuous amongst landscapes are A. Brownlie
Docharty's Autumn's Golden Glow, a characteristi-
cally thoughtful rendering of a fine subject, by
perhaps the most consistent painter of Highland
lochs and glens; Spring, by George Houston,
A.R.S.A., in which the artist attains to a full
measure of realism and a charming delicacy of
transcriptiveness ; A Highland Spate, by R. M. G.
Coventry, A.R.S.A., an animated presentment of
liquid turgidity, with the enchanted environment of
Highland attractiveness; Frosty Morning, Strathyre,
by Thos. Hunt, R.S.W., a fine composition; and
Landscape,. Kirkcudbright, by Whitelaw Hamilton,
A.R.S.A., an impressive pastoral with clever study
of foliage and cloud-capped sky.

Among the figure pictures there are none stronger
than Fra. H. Newbery's Cronies; none more
suggestive of the joy of life than William Pratt's
Tangled Line; none more finely phrased than
Dora and Mary, by Gemmell Hutchison, the
newly elected R.S.A. ; while Confidences, by Patrick
W. Orr, Corner of a Farm Court, by George Smith,
A.R.S.A., The Bathing Tents, by Walter W. Russell,
and notably Cupid and Campaspe, one of the
elusive sketches by Charles Sims, A.R.A., will
repay careful study.
In portraiture, striking contributions are made
by Sir James Guthrie, P.R.S.A., E. A. Walton,
R.S.A, George Henry, A.R.A., R.S.A., Fiddes
Watt, A.R.S.A., Harrington Mann, David Gauld,
William Findlay, Andrew Law, and James B.
Robertson; while Jubilee year is made further
notable by the excellent work of such women
artists as Katharine Cameron, R.S.W., H. C.
Preston Macgoun, R.S.W., Gertrude Coventry,
Nora Nelson Gray, Mary B. Barnard, and Louise
E. Perman. J. T.
