As the picture went on to the walls about the time the. ndve.nt of the Boys m Blue, tn latter (perhaps diverted some attention from what local artists have Deen ac nm-mlihSnfr during the last half year However, the remaining afternoons of thP rvvpek will be ample time for eve the most tardy ones to avail them cpivpq of what is awaiting them i the Art League rooms. Catalogue and admission are alike free to the public this year. As one looks down the list it may be discovered that the number coin cides almost exactly with that of six months ago, although perhaps fewer of the exhibits are offered for sale. It appears also that there are less oil colors in proportion to the others, but some large and striking water colors are there in compensation. Of these Sirs. Kelley takes the lead as being the author, and so well appreciated were two of her representations of Hawaiian leis, one Ilima and the other of carnations with a 3coa cala bash, that they were both purchased the first evening. There is still a golden Ilima lei which invites the purchaser and excites the admiration of many a one who would gladly :be the owner if only his ship had come in. A most striking picture by the same artist hold a fine middle space on the wall. "The Mouth of Onomea Gulch." Mrs. Kelley improved to the fullest degree her hours spent in the j vicinity of Ililo last winter, and this is one of the evidences. The silvery water in contrast to the rich red soil lhl brilliant verdure, together with The fantastic natural formation make a picture not soon to be forgotten. Typically Hawaiian also are two other scenes showing grass houses which the tourist to come will look for in vain except upon canvass, un less he goes into some of the by ways and out of the way places to search for such .picturesque scenes as are here depited. Besides her Hawaiian views which are the most endearing objects of her brush is a .beautiful piece of workmanship, No. 19, "In .Alameda," and the little gem in the gold sur rounding, "A Storm," No. 22. When Mrs. Kelley works the feeling of this foreign bit into some of her Island scenes, the attractions of the Art Lpaeue will be richer yet. Turning to the work of another ex hibitor whom all welcome for the first time. is found a number of clear and crisp bits of scenery in Califor ,.;,1.:miiv in- Mrs. Herbert Gor illa, l'l III'- fc'" ' 'J It is a pleasure to see a i stin. it thp. list, and it is hoped tha it may continue there, and with work ns attractive. It is hard to single out any particular ones from among those by this artist, but one may ask that the public be favored often with work in the same vein by the same brush. Mr. Hitchcock has been engaged of late with interests closer to his heart than painting, and his numbers are hardly as large as usuaf, but all will pardon him at this turning point in his life, in .full confidence that the present interests of his heart and painting Avill hereafter be such help to each other that friends will behold him happy in life, and better than ever before represented on canvass. The good wishes of the Art League and of all his friends will surely be extended to him in both these direc tions. Meantime he has been ponder ing -what the wild waves say, and has shown in his chef-d'oeuvre of the present time. "Outposts." It. may not appeal to some as the one large move of a former exhibition did. but it is full of thought and careful study. "Kilauea in 1S93." close at hand shows the vividness of our favorite crater scene without the blood and thunder element that once obtained as indis pensible. Mr. Hitchcock has set that line of work upon an entirely new plane, in daylight and reality, and the picture lover" owes him a debt of gratitude. V piece of his Cocoanut Island shore appears in a frame exhibited by Mrs. Graham, separately numbered and also a work of art. There are two others by the same lady enclosing the work of Mr. Dodge, and the originality of design and execution of the poker etchtng wakes the wish for more work from the same source, distinctive and apart from the work of others. Men tioning Mr. Dodge, the merit on this occasion seems somewhat m reverse proportion to the size. Almost un noticed among the others appear a u nf rotf which is the best ULLltJ liner .... i thing from his brush at this time, be- TYint simnle and free. An other bit, not so very lage was also among those sold on xne him i . tinted that the purchaser had in mind those whose associations were cf .ins to the bit or rums at Kaneohe, and who would best appre- ciate "Where tne Hussion ul wi. It should have (been mentioned above that "Sunrise on West Maui," )v Hitfhr )(:, wa.-- among the first to be ticketed as sold, and his harming sepia, study of a studio cor ner i.T also out of the market. The contributions of Mrs. Alfred Willis r.re vf l y ruode.st in size and em- 5. nco .ionic original Hawaiian stucke -is '.vf'ii as trip abrcat the wing, take from interesting tiller lead one to infer namely, "Entrance to Suez Canal,' No. CM, and "Off the Straits of Mes sina." If all the other absent or trav eling members of the League would but do as well en route, it would add very much to the enjoyment of thos who stay at home, as well as to th traveler. Other glimpses of foreign -cenery are shown by Mrs. H. M. von Holt, in "A Bit of Grumwald, near Berlin," and "On the Island cf Rugen, numbered respectively 31 and 37. It i pleasant that members of the Island community have been able to glean so far from home, and these two pieces in oil colors show the possibility of what lies close at hand. But cnief among those on the oil color side of the erallery are three canvasses by Mr S. Decoto. "Stopping first at the Mag nolias " No. 32, and then at the land scape showing a scene in the quaint "Kilipaki Village, Lahaina," one pauses before No. 45, for it is one of the most attractive pictures on the wall. Few of the exhibitors are not strug gling for advancement in technique and the artist who gives "Threaten ing." is among them, but the force and feeling of course in question surpasses any that she has contributed. It is an especial credit to one whose time is mostly spent at a distance from even such a little nucleus of artists as Honolulu affords, and the effect of cloud and sea herein defined are filled with thoughtful meaning. While at the oils the viewer can pass if not careful a small one in a simple frame by Fred. Yates. It is designated "Quiet," and all through its composition and its tone is bespeaks its name. Mr. Yates treatment of landscape is quite unique, and the ability which produced this bit is a great lesson to the beginner or the realist who leaves "all the soul out of a canvass while striving to depict its body. There is sreat vitality in the con tributions of Mrs. Belle Jones, No. 21, 'An Impression" is an example of dar ing simplicity, and has a dash and a 'reedom which should underlie all art. It is simnlv what its title calls for, but from such impressions rightly develop ed grow sturdy and substantial re sults in the way of pictures. Mrs. Jones' "Oleanders" will be an attrac tion to a great many who may he a ittle at a loss to interpret the former bnet The space between the windows are occunied by architectural work in which is recognized the well known hand of Mr. Wm. Diokey. Some of these are a little foretaste of what may be realized around Honolulu in more substantial form, hoth m pic turesque cottage and stately mansion. Do not fail to mark those designated as koa halls; happy is the man who an design and execute on paper such artistic effects and happy are those who can carry the ideas on to their final intention and have reproduced for their homes these beautiful forms n the materials best suited for their permancy. In tne same line, ana in color also in frames, are the work of Mr. G. E. CUcCrea. This gentleman exhibits for the first time in the ,eague, but with an impression that ill hp n lastinsr one. Here, as in the rt of the hypnotfst, is shown the power of "suggestion," and the direct- ess ami force of Mr. McCrea s techni cal skill are very much to be admired. The absence of anything overdone is most essential, and for this artist the hope is that before the next exhibition he will have been let free among the rocks and hills, by the water side and anions: the sunsets, for much can be expected from what his brush will be able to accomplish under the inspira tion of nature. The work of Mrs. A. B. Tucker is much missed from the walls on this occasion. It would oe very pieasani. if she could have sent a number of pieces as charming as her one glimpse of "Idlewild ." No. 12. The youngest contributor this time is Miss Florence Hall, who will be found represented in the corner cabinet of the alcove, by a prettily decorated dessert set, and one or two other pieces. In anotner cabinet near by is a portion of work in the same line by Miss Towne. l nis ladv has siven much pleasure in Ho nolulu during the past six months and many have been glad to avail them selves of her instruction, with the prospect of accomplishing dainty and beautiful chinaware like that which SIP JIMS Oil ifV ilL luia umc, uunuuB.i her best pieces had flown to the pos session of others before the exhibition onened. On a large table, and on the walls back of it, is the rare work of Miss Herrick in the line ceramic. Miss Her rick is a sojourner from San Francisco and it is very pleasant that it could be arranged that her fine and exquisite productions could add to the Art League attractions at this season. One will linger long over the graceful forms which have been so beautifully decorated in this alcove, which is an annex to the main exhibit, and as Miss Herrick is also imparting her knowledge to others, from these two sources ma 5 be expected fresh impulse in the line of printed porcelain for future exhibitions. From one to five the remainder of the week the doors will be open, and even if one has seen the pictures be fore, it is a pleasure to stroll in with a friend and chat over what artist friends have realized for the community.
