Colo., (.VP) Leaves, grass, stems, weeds and other plants are used by M rs. Tansy Stockton, i'enver artist, instead of h'-- water colors and oils for tho newest work she is showing, which she calls "sun paintaiugs." "Tile state is my palette." says Mrs. Stockton. She creates a "sun painting" by gluing to a special kind of paper all the foliage which she and her husband pick during their summers in Colorado. Many of lier "paintings' aro drawn from oubjects in Mesa Verde national park In the southwestern part of Colorado. Mrs. Stockton has x discovered, she says. that clouds and waterfalls are as easily exeruted with milkweed and wild thistle as with oils and water col ors. She uses the wild tobacco for gray hills and mountains; Often to find the m oases for her unburn cre ations, Mrs. Stockton must make trips of several miles through waist-deep snow. MKXTAL MIV.
