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.
Their names have been consid
ered along with other appli
cants from' troops in Moore,
Lee, Harnett and Chatham Coun
ties which comprise the Central
Carolina Council area.
Attending next year’s Round
up will be 3,940 Senior Girl
Scouts from over the nation. To
qualify, girls must be adept at
all camping skills, able to direct
group activities and “representa
tive of the finest Girl Scout tra
ditions.”
