its regular weekly meeting Sat-'
urday evening, January 8. Among ,
tho things ciectden upon nt this tlmo (
was the arranging for an open so. Inl
meeting to be held each month The '
league extends a cordial Invitation to
nil who are Interested in art to at
tend thefio mcotlngs. Tho first of I
these meetings will bo held nt the
league room over the May compnny,
Wednesday, January 19, from 2.35
to G o'clock. Tho president, Mrs.
Heine, as chairman, and Mrs. Geo.
K. Johnson, Mrs. b W. HolHs, Mrs.
O. N. Illrklnnd and Miss Maurino
Hlatt have tho program In charge.
After the business meeting, Mrs.
Geo. K. Johnson road a very lengthy
nrtlclo front tho Portland Oregonlan
on "Art Pioneering." Tho subject
was discussed whether It wero possi
ble for art to thrive in Oregon with
Oregon patronnge. Many interpreters
of the west differ. They do not
interpret tho same, but thrive In tho
atmosphere of their student days.
Oregon suggests Oregon nnd not
no mo foreign scene of Franco or
Italy. Tho trees are Oregon trees,
tho settings are truo to tho subject,
but the atmosphere, the soul of the
picture, is foreign to the prospective
patrons. The painter of Oregon's
beauties may bo the painter of noth
ing deeper than Oregon's external
aspects. Nor may this ceaso to bo
tho case until art Is nioro firmly
established here nnd tho younger
generation paint hero, rather than
como here to paint nfter they have
ninturotf In other settings, among
other artlstH who know nothing of
this region.
A study room Is being fitted up
adjoining the exhibit room which
will bo open to members from U n.
m. to G p. m. Classes In drawing
and painting will meet here, A class
In charcoal drawing from still life
has beon organized and will work un
der the best available, critics. This
class will meet on Tuesday nnd Sat
urday afternoons.
Knch member Is to supplvchls own
materials, easel and drawing board.
From this beginning it Is Intended
that other classes in drawing nnd
painting In water colors, pastel and
oils from ntlll life, flowers, tho an
tique and life will bo developed.
