Oregon Coast Scenes Depicted
in Oils and Water Colors
While on His
Vacation.
Several Eastern Subjects Are
Shown With Western
Sketches.
An exhibition of 65 paintings in wa
ter-color and oil, by Professor A. H.
Schroff, of the department of art at
the University, are on display in the
exhibit room at the architecture build
ing.
All of the paintings are nature studies,
and many of them were done by Mr.
Schroff last summer, when he spent
the months of August and September
along the Oregon coast. A large ma
jority of the pictures are marines paint
ed about Newport, The Devil’s 1’unch
Bowl and Yachats. Mr. Schroff lived in
u tent and ate at the \ achats' post
office for a time, in order to paint some
of the scenes of the country.
“Most of these pictures were done
in less than an hour,” said Mr. Schroff.
“When one works on ocean scenery it
is necessary 'to work fast as the tide
goes out, then there is nothing to work
with.”
Weather Not Considered.
Mr. Schroff has severnl paintings
done about Eugene, one scene, looking
down from Hendricks park, was painted
last junior week-end, during a heavy
rain.
Before placing his exhibit, Mr. Schroff
had the walls of the exhibit room done
over in a soft gray tone. A canvas
has been stretching under the skylight
to throw u better light on the pictures.
“This room,” said Mr. Schroff, “is a
very difficult one in which to display
paintings. However, 1 hope thut at some
time the lighting and general atmosphere
may be improved.”
Besides pictures of the Oregon coast,
(there are several done along the coast
of Maine, one being of a cave called
“Spouting ltoek," where the water rush
es in and shoots high into the air. The
picture was painted just; at sunrise, and
thq soft pink and rose tiwts of the morn
ing sun are just visible on the distant J
mountain tops.
Shipbuilder Buys Painting.
Another of Mr. Schroff’s paintings
was done in his back yard at Wellesley,
Mass., and shows u still pond with tall
willows along the edge, whieh are re
fleeted perfectly in the clear water.
One of Mr Schroffs canvases, com
panion to one of those now on exhibi
tion, was sold last week to A. I'd Myers,
Portland shipbuilder, for $100.
The paintings will be on display at
architecture hall for two weeks.
