BRIGHT WATER-COLOURS

PROMISING STUDIES BY “EVERHOPEFULS” OLD MILL INTERIOR $ Much promising worn was s» played this morning when sn <1 hibition of water-colours by ttw Everhopefuls, the group of enthusiastic young Auckland an students, was opened. Outdoor studies comprise a laitt portion of the display, but there » much to attract in indoor studies. os> of these, an interior in chaccost aac wash of the Old Mill, by Miss Ba> Lynes, who has many original stsdte in the exhibition, is distinctive. TV sense of age in the picturesque hi tures of the interior is well ■? gested. The exterior of the OH Htt has been responsible for several other water-colours. One. by Miss HUk Alison, is a study from an unesal angle of the familiar Auckland Ism mark. | Miss Alison has given a chermit? study in "Zinnias.” A bow! of toe ers is simply placed on a table, hr. the beauty of the work is gfret largely by the reflection of the grot) in a wall mirror. Studies of Piki Tawhaki, a Mur woman worker in flax, in pencil b? Miss May Gilbert, possess considerable merit. Miss Gilbert also a hibits an effective impression tt Mount Egmont in summertime, vhl streaks of snow tapering into a deep blue base. Among the most original works art “Toadstools.” a colourful study hr Miss D. Vallance Young, and a picture which has been dubbed Tht Down-and-Outers.” in which Min Lynes has given a row of modest foe wear unguessed qualities. Mist ■ Young has given an impression of t corner of the Winter Garden ia tit Domain; Miss Mary Wilson, taik groups and neat house interiors; Mis Olive Tonkin, studies of blnegsmt near St. Heliers and light and shack among trees in the Domain; Mrs Brownlee, a botanical study; and Miss L. Phillips, a glimpse of the OMMfli A week-end visit by a party to Cowes Waiheke Island, was productive «f I many impressions, and Mfss Bent Moses, who is only 13 years ole. painted a promising picture, TBs* ! Boats.” Another instance of merit amoii! ' young students is "Wonderland.” with | paintings by Miss Leslie Halbertaged 12, and Miss Margaret Ewen, lL with verse by Miss S. Henderson. Mix : L. Vigors has charge of the exhifc ; tion, which is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Friday, on the necooc floor of the Vulcan Buildings.
