He formerly lived there. hapa, among the exhibitors, since his picture, "Upland Pastures" was adard cd ::ret honors as the best painting In the exhibition of the Oregon so ciety of Artists at the 1930 show in the Meier and Frank galleries, Port land, through a voteof the artiste. "Upland Pastures' 'Is a simple study but encompasses a vast stretch of summer sky and an efcoepj-lonally well depicted hilltop, and the compo sition In both Is excellent. The out standing phase heard In connection with this picture was the perfect perspective attained with so little chance to render It. Technically It 1b well painted and there seems to be no hesitation or fusslness In the brushwork, which is a very favorable feature from an artist's standpoint. Tho simplicity of conception and di rectness of technique show the spirit of the master. "October," a painting which won first prize In landscapes at the Ore gon state fair this year, deplete a wooded knoll In the rich warm robe of autumn. The composition, though different and unusual is nevertheless good. Tho "key," though quite bright and colorful, hasn't the glare and patchlness of some autumn studies, but Is arther restrained and seeAis well co-ordinated, as a critic has said, "In this painting,' the artist has caught the real spirit of fall." He also exhibited "June Meadows, which has been exhibited ini the Northwest show at Seattle, also the annual Oregon exhibition and was awarded first prize In landscape at the Oregon state fair In 1926; along with four other paintings. Clyde Leon Keller, who exhibited "Mt. Hood," "After the Shower," and ; "Autumn," Is a staff artist on the . Portland Journal, and of his painting of "Mt. Hood," Mr. Manser says, "The heavy brushwork and peculiar stylo of Mr. Keller lends Itself excellently to the rendering of mountain peaks of which I feel he Is a master." Moun tains often are painted with a light and painstaking technique, like pretty Inverted cones, but here the rugged ! peak stands forth with all Its mas- ! slve dignity. Two dead and lifeless tree trunks add a dramatic touch I and accentuate the depth of the , canyon In the middle distance of j the picture. . Colista Dowllng, woman artist of ; Portland, has painted "Boyhood," "Sunny Day on the Willamette" and a "Portrait of a Boy." which were on exhibit yesterday. In "Boyhood" she depicts a young lad intently whittl ing 'his stick and the natural unas suming pose of the boy 13 graphic ally set forth. Mrs. Dowllng might be called a "painter's painter" as her work is so often executed in that broad free manner that artlsta liko. One sees In the sketch no wasted ef fort in any form since the drawing Is direct and her technique splendid.
