AMATEUR PAINTERS OF SANDHILLS Current Exhibit At Library Shows Art Interest, Talent The current exhibition at the Library Gallery covers examples from the work of a group of ama teur painters, residents of South ern Pines and Pinehurst. Eight are represented, and the show, dike the previous exhibit of a similar nature, is varied and interesting, ranging from the del icate watercolor of a Sandhills scene by Harriet Barnum, to the strong portrait in oil of “Ozzie” we see the still life study, on the one hand, and beside it the same study as “briefed” by the teach er. Something to spend time on and thereby gain in inderstand- ing, as this painter has probably done. Mrs. Carter Says she has found the course often puzzling but always interesting and worthwhile. On the farther wall of the gal lery are two sets of paintings that Delegates For Big Girl Seout Event Are Chosen Girl Scout officials of the Cen tral Carolina Council met in Sanford recently to choose four girls from the council area to attend the National Girl Scout Round-up at Highland State Park, Pontiac, Mich., June 29- July 11, 1956. Names ' of delegates chosen by Florencp Von Schlegell; from could hardly be in greater con- the precise New England village and fishing boats of Raymond Kennedy to the “modems” of Katherine Sledge. If “variety is the spice of life” it is, clearly, also the spice of this exhibit and especially of one exhibitor. Katherine Sledge sure ly ranks in a class of variety by herself, ranging widely through the media and mood of modern art. Closest to the conventional are’ her yellow chrysanthemums, full of sunny light, in their tall vase. Ifere the artist threw away her brushes and took to the pal ette knife, thus gaining a happy freedom, well suited to her sub ject. Miss Sledge’s “Harlequin and Rooster” show, again, her versatility and also her fondness for color and dash. There is strength in this artist’s work and we agree with the joking remark of the writer of the ‘‘blurb” be side the picture as, saying that she had to dig this artist’s paint ings out of the cellar,” she goes on with: “Kit, don’t hide your work under the house!” Portrait Painter An artist clearly much in earnest and deeply interested in her work is Florence Von Schle gell. The “Czzie” in her portrait is alive, a thinking, feeling per son; she is also excellently posed in a composition that is simple but withall appealing. In contrast to her is Mrs. Von Schlegell’s still life of ducks, a beer stein and, as background, a surprising copy, we’d say, of the Cxford Press’s “Paintings of Picasso.”^ The whole looks like another sort of portrait, shrewdly suggestive of personal ity. Mrs. Von Schlegell has clear ly profitted by her hard work and study and, too, her association with her painter brother, veteran of many a museum and art ex hibit. Elizabeth Carter’s “Study In Ceramics” poses a study for the viewer. This artist has been ex perimenting with a correspon dence course in painting called “Famous Artists Fine Arts.” So trast. Three small canvasses show Raymond Kennedy’s joy in the New England scene. Painted with precision and humor, they are bright with color, stiff, but at the same time, lively. Beside them hang the two' “Studies In Scillpture” of Daniella Devins. Grey, austere, extraordinarily de tailed, the paintings show two views of the same marble statue, the seated figure of a man. Photo graphic in style, the painting shows great dexterity,, the sure skill of the professional designer. It would be good to see what Mrs. Devins does with a living model. The sureness of touch suggests competence all down the line. Uid Belhesda Subject Elliott W. Cooper is a newcom^ er to Gallery shows. In his “Old Bethesda Church” he has captur ed well the quiet dignity of this old building, indicating an appre ciation of values, both aesthetic and spiritual. ^His “Abandoned Mill” has an inate sadness to match his understanding of the dignity and peace of Moore Coun ty’s l^istoric church. Miss Barnum’s is the only watercolor in this show. She has studied in Paris and at the Art Student’s League in New York and there is the quiet sure touch of the thoughtful, intelligent stu dent in her work. The artist knows the effect she wants to create, the mood she wants to evoke and in watercolor she has chosen a difficult medium but the right one to attain her goal. She has caught the softness, the balm- ' iness of Sandhills air, in her fig ures the charm of Sandhills life. Not easy to achieve. Mrs. Darst’s little study: ‘“Caine Mountain Church” swings back to the American primitive. And not merely because the room she de picts with its angular lines, plain walls and iron stove, is so early- American in tone, as are the scenes observed through its two long windows. Mrs. Darst’s style has the clearness of line and sim- 1 plicity of execution of the primi tives, and like them, it has a charm all its own, child-like, sturdy, homey. The artist took up painting only three years . ago, studying at the Burnside School. Also on view at the Library are some of the canvasses from the previous “Amateur Artists” show. Hung in the North Carolina room these paintings add further interest to a show that gives ex citing indication of the interest in art and the talent that is com ing to light in the Sandhills this winter. —M. A. will not be announced until the annual meeting of the Coun cil January 30. Four alternates were also chosen. Southern Pines girls who have applied for the honor of attend ing the Round-up are Sandra Bailey, Nancy Butler; Phyllis Garzik and Carol Staples.
