Painted by Mrs. Francis Paschal (Prim rose) McPherson, a Raleigh na tive now living in Durham, it is the only portrait ever purchased from the N. C. Artists’ Annual. Mrs. Paschal won the award in 1948. Since good portrait painting is almost a lost art, we were par ticularly happy to rediscovet-Ahe work of Primrose Paschal. Enam oured with the human figure and the translucence of skin tones, she is a competent anatomist, which enables her to add a sculp tural quality to her extremely creative portraits. And, although she has moved away from the 1948 technique used in portray ing Beulah and her baby, that portrait still embodies her the ories and philosophy of painting to wit: “I like portrait painting be cause in it I can find complete scope for creativity. If I am lucky . . , and sometimes I am almost too lucky and see a little too much ... I can capture the person in his time and make him live. For me, this is completely fulfilling. But I enjoy the busi ness of seeing life created wher ever it is—in literature, the the ater, or in painting. "In all of these things, the last ing quality is honesty,” she said, stating her abhorrence of canni balistically feeding on the thoughts and ideas of others. She maintains that the underlying principal of any work should be artistic integrity combined with romantic creativity and the tech nical efficiency necessary before one can start at all. A petite brunette, who claims to be “different” rather than “shy,” Primrose makes little ado about her own work. She has no need to. “They are breathing down my neck all the time,” she says, referring to commissions she is now finishing for Duke University and other clients. And, certainly, her ideas are her own, as she seeks constantly to increase her knowledge of the human figure by sketching and painting nude models when she can find good ones. Inherent in her paintings, however, is hom age to the diaphanous tones and the luminosity achieved by De gas and Renoir, both acknowledg ed influences. Her competence in drawing has kept her in demand as a book illustrator for such publishers as Scribners and Lippincott. Her prettiest children’s book, she says, is “A Birthday Garland,” by Thomas Crowell. The publish er bound one in leather and pre sented it to Primrose with her name inscribed on it in gold. Better known to North Carolini ans are her illustrations in ”Oc racoke” by Carl Goerch. Engulfed in the building of a new house nearer Duke Univer sity where her husband teaches in the Law School, at the mom ent she is torn between the ex citement of moving to her new studio and a reluctance to leave the present one, now on the real tors' block. Designed by internationally rec ognized George Matsumoto, form erly of the School of Design in Raleigh but now of California, the studio wing of her house, now for sale, is approximately 24 x 24, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls on the north and south sides. A south door leads into a country setting reminiscent of England. Auxiliary heat makes it comfort able in moments for scantily clad models. High ceilings, a full bath and specially designed clos et and storage space, make the studio an artist’s haven of de light. In a more cosmopolitan area, a Paschal portrait might well vie in popularity and price with those of the late deLazlo. In response to this comment, however, she was emphatic in saying: "I like my life just as it is. I just want to work and live quietly and without fanfare.” School Menu | • , Lunches to be served in Chap- I el Hill schools during the com | ing week: MONDAY Pig in a blanket, blackeyed peas, tossed salad, cornbread and mutter, fruit cup and milk.

Illllllhllu WINES Works of Art Antiques Bought and Sold Bermuda Bothering Your Periwinkles? By M. E. GARDNER “Bermuda grass is invading my periwinkle bed. Is there a spray I can'use to kill the Ber muda without damaging the peri winkle?” There was no spray that I could think of so I consulted one of my co-workers in weed con trol to be sure. He had no rec ommendation either. I do have two suggestions to make which should help solve such problems. The first would be to use Dala pon or Varsol along the edge of the bed being invaded by Ber muda grass. Use a narrow band of spray because it must be re membered that both of these ma terials will kill everything spray ed. Varsol ( a cleaning fluid) should be used as a wetting spray and as often as necessary to give control. Dalapon should be used according to instructions outlined on the container. These materi als may also be used to clear grass and weeds from the drive way and between the .joints of the sidewalk. The second suggestion would be to erect a barrier of some sort—aluminum strips from your garden center, 4x8x16 cinder or concrete blocks, up-ended brick (at an angle) or treated Vs inch wood boards. It would be desir able to use good judgment as to your choice, because some of these barriers could prove to be unsightly. However, if the grass is invading from a neighbor's yard, the barrier could be. erect ed along the fence line and hid den by plant materials in your bed. “I have two bad spots in my front lawn which was seeded with Kentucky 31 Fescue. Can you give suggestions about treating these areas for re-seeding?” Since these spots are reported as being “bad,” 1 am assuming that the rest of the lawn is satisfactory. In this case, scarifying the areas with a rake, and re-seeding would not help. It is possible that these spots may be com pacted and, as a result, wet. I would suggest that the soil be removed to a depth of about 8 The Binkley Memorial Baptist Church Worships at 11:00 A.M.
