EXHIBITION OF PICTURES.
An exhibition of oil and water-colour sketches of scenery in England and on the Continent is being made at Butler's art gallery, Lambton Quay. The artist is Mr. G. E. Woolley, of Whangarei, who recently cycled through various European countries, sketching plaecs of interest. Venice, Rome, rural Austria, Switzerland, and England are the places chiefly drawn upon, and somo of the work is extremely fine. Tho artist also studied eighteen months in England under Signor Crespo, portrait-painter for, tho Spanish .Royal family, and a well-known exhibitor "on tho line" in the English Royal Academy, and under Mr. Black, A.R.A., London. Some copies of famous pictures in oils arc also shown. A few New Zealand views are among the collection. Mr. Woolley's work is extremely pleasing, and his colour effects, artistic conception, and mastery of technie.nl detail, ns shown particularly in his later work, are above tho average.
