EWS from New York says that the well known California artist, Julian will this coming spring desert his. New York studio for a time, and return to his old home in California.

As artist’s popularity does not confine itself to San Francisco, Monterey can look forward to some social life when the bun- galo is completed. H. J. Bloomer has a great deal of work under way. Living as he does in the suburbs of San Rafael, he has had the advantage over his fellow artists, for he has only to step to the door in order to have the most charming stretch of wood- land pose for his brush. At present Mr. Bloomer is working upon a marine—the subject, an old deserted boat over which break the waves. There is just,a little pathos in this lonesome looking craft that has outlived its usefulness, and lies half buried in the sand and spray. Mr. Bloom- er has caught the movement of the water as it rolls landward, the green transpar- | ency of the white-capped wave, and the effect is very beautiful. Few of the artists have made a greater stride in their profession in one year's time than has J. M. Gamble. This artist, who has heretofore been painting in some- what prosaic detail, has this season taken a new stand with splendid result. Some of his last studies, scenes from the Rus- sian River country, painted In a low tone, are full of poetry. One, entitled “After the Storm,” is particularly pleasing, for it Is good in composition and has all the atmosphere of a wet, threatening day. Those who think times are not looking up should visit some of the studios and be convinced that money in the world of art changes hands occasionally. This last month was an especiully happy one for H. Breuer, for three of his good-sized canvases were sold. One, an afternoon landscape, was added to the fine collec- tion in F. Tillmann's gallery. A Contra Costa scene was secured by Mr. Rath- burn, secretary of ke Bohemian Club, and Mr. McGee bought a plcture of the Clifts, which was exhibited and much | admired at the recent Sorosis Club exhibi- tion. Frequent sales have always been the best possible proof of good work. The work of Mr. Breuer has a strength, with a sentiment and delicacy of nature, that marks him as one of California’s best landscape painters. ‘When visiting a section of Kennedy & Rabjohn's gallery not long ago some one jokingly remarked that it was the dining- room, and, sure enough, there standing up against the wall waiting to be hung in position in the gallery was practically a full course dinner, commencing with a still lite of oyster cocktalls, followed by another canvas with oysters on the half, fish, roast, enirees, frult, cheese and a tiny canvas with black coffee and cigar- ettes, and any amount of little pletures, so one could have a cholce of liquors from beer to champsgne, . 82me of them, from brushes wielded by clever hands, were so dangerously natural that it was not safe for a hungry mortal to venture near un- less he, perchance, had a shining geld V' to exchange for his luncheen and still the appetite thus aroused, By the by, speak- ing of some recent popular pictures that are generally captured at ence by the fastidious bachelor for den ornaments are the little canvases called “Jags”—group- ings of steins, pipe, matches, ete ; others bottles of champagne, half-filled glasses and numerous articles appropriate to the suggestive title. One afternoon two dies were looking at these little canvases with an eye to Chri; presents wher one of them, being especially attracted b: a picturesque stein and the general tone of the picture, re; ocently to her friend, “Do you know, I like a beer jag ever so much better than a champagne jag." Then, noting the surprised glance of the few uninitiated customers, she flushed furiously and added in a loud voice, “This picture, you know,” ete. The woman art ) our city are com- plaining, principally that they are not al- lowed to show their work in the Bohe- mian Club exhibition, for that v the place where the possible purchasers all congregate. There, is a good chance for some inter- ested and energetic person to organize a woman’s club wherein the finest work is accepted. "W a good central location and a competent jury to pass upon the canvases submitted, such an er- ganization could be made very beneficial to th who are at all ambiti At t present time one may be ever so cle " yet here her light is hid under a bushel, for there is practically no opportunity whatever to let the world know what one is doing. Nowand then one of our California girls goes abroad and wins honors, but when they return here ome must visit homes or be ignorant of what they have accomplished. Why cannot our clever women be as independent as the men and have a genuine art club, which, by barring mediocre work, would be as great an traction to the lovers and patrons of art as the Bohemian Club exhibition is? Per- haps fate has prepared no greater pun- ishment, that is, aside from physical mu- tilation, than is dealt out to the portrait artists who allow the friends of a sub- Ject to come In and suggest. A good story in regard to family opla- fon is told of an artist who was to paint from a photograph the portrait of a de- parted grandfather. All went well till near the finish, when a member of the family dropped in and remarked that the picture was all right, only grandfather had a wart on the left side of his chin. So, according to Instruction, the wart was palated in, when soon another relative strolled along. “Oh, but the wart fs on the wrong side,” said she. After a warm discussion and much rubblng out and painting in of the plcture a general con- sultation of the entire family resulted in still a divided opinion regarding the lo- cation of the troublesome faclal charac- teristic. The poor artist, half for re- venge, yet with a sort of vague desire to satisfy all concerned, painted a wart on either side and sent the portrait home. ‘What was exactly the result of his courage no one seems to know, A studio opening was announced Tues- day, November 12, by W, E. Dassonviile and H, C, Lassen. These names repre- sent two of San Francisco's most elever devotees to the camera. Mr. Dassonviily has been for some time studying in Ger- many and has upon his return brought home some delightful studies of Dutch landscape. One in particular, a sunset, is very likely to be singled out and given due honor at the coming exhibition of the Camera Club, which opens June 8, 1902, ep——— About forty-eight miles from Deadwood, 8, D., is a mountain of good size which the prespectors say is/almost solld cop- per, A company capitalized for 35,000,000 has secured control of the mountain.
