Art Show

Susan White, winner of several prizes at the Art Exhibition held a few weeks ago, opened an exhibition of her work at the Technical College Annexe yesterday afternoon. Fifty-two of her paintings and drawings are for sale, comprising 12 oils, a few lithographs and etchings, and a splendid collection of watercolors.

The titles of some of these give an indication of the subjects, so truly representative of this district "Creek Grass”; “Salt Bush Country”; “Tree Sketch”; “Stirling Vale Creek”; “One Gum”; “Salt Bush Plains”; “Bush Track” and so on.

The wonderful reds of our outback country, the form and grouping of gum trees, the blue-grey tinge of saltbush and the dry pale yellow of shimmering grass — all are vividly painted by the young artist.

Since leaving for a year’s study in Sydney, Miss White has added a number of seascapes to her collection, and, here again, the colors of water, the shape of stones, the smooth “wet” quality of sea sand are glowingly depicted. Miss White is returning to Sydney on Tuesday, so the arranging of this exhibition of her work has necessarily been rather hurried. However, it will remain open today and tomorrow and Sunday from 2 till 9 pm continuously. On Sunday buyers may collect their pictures at the evening session.
