Well-known to the people of
Southern Pines, both through her
work and her active participation
in civic affairs, this local artist has
been a leader in the establishment
and promotion of the gallery. She
has had an annual show of her
work since its opening and has
taken a special interest in several
exhibits of the art-work of the
grade school.
This year, Mrs. de Costa has
chosen for the current show can
vases showing the range of her
talent. There are portraits, still
lifes and a number of landscapes.
The artist says herself that she
has selected her subjects from
sketches made at the scene, from
photographs and from imagina
tion.
Her style is realistic, “conven
tional,” as painters use the word,
rather than “contemporary.” Nev
ertheless, that she has been af
fected by the modernistic trend, is
evident in the treatment of sever-

er sombre palette, the flesh-tones
of the portraits on the dark side,
the landscapes rich in warm reds'
and browns, and deep blue
greens. This coloring is most ef
fective in the landscape of rising
hills, with patch-work of fields
and red barns in the foreground
and in the vivid painting of the
Mexican (cr Spanish?) town, with
its twin-spired cathedral rising
above a jumble of red-tiled roofs
Marion de Costa’s credo centers
around composition and indiv
idualism of treatment. Of painting
she says: “It will always be the
problem of the artist to approach
his subject as imaginatively and
individually as possible.” Taking
the four sides of the frame as
playing an active role in the crea
tion of the painting, she believes
that the design or arrangement of
the material is all-important.
While individual creativeness
“must play seme part,” she says,
she feels that, regardless of the
subject the impact of the work is
largely determined by the “spac
ing and arrangement of t||e con
tours, which is the basis of all
pictorial approach.”
While Mrs. de Costa’s back
ground of study and accomplish
ment place her in the professions
field, she feels keenly that the
“pure joy of creation must always
be the artist’s greatest reward.”

Trees Reported
After Trimming
Club Members Are
Present As Midland
Road Work Is Done
Improvement in appearance of
trees on Midland Road was re
ported Tuesday by Mrs. J. S. Mil-
liken, president of the Southern
Pines Garden Club, and Mrs. A.
L. Burney, representing the Civic
Ciardening Club, after a trimii’.ing
crew had removed the tops of nine
trees which had previously been
cut in an unsightly manner.
According to an arrangement
made with Carolina Power and
Light Co. and State Highway of
ficials, Mrs. Milliken and Mrs.
Burney accompanied a trimming
crew employed by the power com-
apny to the Midland Road site
Teusday. The crew was under the
supervision of Cliff Story, South
ern Pines man who is in charge
of the power company’s tree trim
ming in a 12-county area.
The work Tuesday was done at
the intersection of Midland Road
with the road to the Sandhills
Veterinary Hospital—a place
where all the limbs had been re
moved from one side of a row of
longleaf pines, as pictured in last
week’s Pilot. Tops were removed
from nine of these trees Tuesday
an dthe remaining portion was
rounded off to a uniform height
with other trees, under the power
lines, which‘ had previously been
trimmed.
This was the only place at
which work was done Tuesday,
the club representatives said.
Still under consideration is a pro
posal to remove some of the larg
er trees that have grown up and
have been trimmed off flat under
wires elsewhere along Midland
Road.
