Van Gogh Exhibit
Inspires Viewers
To Start Painting
The exhibit of paintings by
Vincent van Gogh which
closes at the Portland Art
Museum this week end may
very well have inspired some
of its viewers to try their own
hand at painting.
Van Gogh himself did not
really settle down to making
a painter of himself until aft
, er he was thirty years of age,
and this should be an encou
raging thought for those who
have an unfulfilled urge to
ward putting their ideas on
canvas.
The Jackson County Li
brary, according to Librarian
Helen Webster, offers many
books on painting techniques
to the man or woman who
would like to take up paint
ing as a hobby or pastime,
and excellent instruction is
available locally for those
who wish to take advantage
of it.
Both President Eisenhower
and Winston Churchill are
busy men who have found re
creation in spare-time paint
ing. "I consider myself very
lucky that late in life I have
been able to develop this new
' taste and' pastime," writes
Churchill in his book, "Paint
ing as a Pastime," which is to
be found - in your public
library.

books at the library for begin

An Easel," by Norman Garbo,
