To Portland
Eddie Martin, of La Orande, Is
expected to return tomorrow from
Portland where he has been since
Monday, transacting business. 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.
Dean Pollock, a commercial artist
ffir some of Chicago's leading ad
vertising houses, was discussed by
Mm. Denham. Ho Is the son. of Mrs.
A. E. Pollock, of Wallowa, fine arts
chairman of the Fifth District Fed
eration of Women's clubs. Even
from childhood his pencils have been
able to perform all sorts of miracles,
so that when he grew older he went
