"THE HARVEST"
scape painter we reproduce two examples, In the
Kennet Valley (p. 24) and The Harvest, is an
alumnus of the Royal Academy Schools, where
he carried off some of the principal distinctions
awarded to students, such as the Turner Gold
Medal and the Creswick Prize, and since those
days he has been a frequent exhibitor at Bur-
lington House. Both his father and his grand-
father were painters of ability, so that in his
case inheritance has played a part in shaping
his career. His work is instinct with love for
Nature, and its guiding principle might fitly
indeed be summed up in the words of Walter
Savage Landor: " Nature I love best, and
next to Nature—Art."
In the summer exhibition of the Royal
Society of Painters in Water-Colours, which
remains open till June 30, landscape, as usual,
predominates, and the work generally upholds
well the high standard which distinguishes the
work of the Society's members and associates.
Mr. Clausen, Mr. Cameron, Mr. Sims, Mr.
Sargent, and Mr. Rackham are among the
absentees, but in spite of these notable absten-
tions the display is not at all lacking in variety.
Mr. Walter West's April in Italy and Haytime
BY HAROLD WAITE
in Lombardy, Mr. Harry Watson's Across the
Downs (Sussex) and The Pool, Mr. Henry A.
Payne's The Rising Moon, Mr. Murray Smith's
An Old Sand Pit, Glamorganshire, Mr. Russell
Flint's Summer Ripples and The Yellow Scarf,
Mr. Lamorna Birch's Near Caldy, Cheshire, are,
with Mr. Cayley Robinson's drawings to illus-
trate the Book of Genesis and Miss K. Turner's
flower-pieces, among the works which give
distinction to the present show.
The Royal Institute of Painters in Water-
Colours and the Royal Society of British Artists
have both held their spring exhibitions, and in
both cases the display has not diverged in any
marked way from those we are accustomed to
find on their walls, except that the British
Artists' show again profited by the better
system of hanging which has of late been
introduced. At the Institute the story-picture
is still a good deal in evidence with not a little
else that is commonplace in idea, but the visitor
in search of good art has not to look in vain. On
this last occasion some excellent sculpture by Mr.
CharlesHartwell,A.R.A.,Mr.Mackennal,A.R.A., '
Sir W. Goscombe John, R.A., Mr. Gilbert Bayes,
and others added to the interest of the show.
