WILLIAM RPHRg Some 150 pieces of art in bright panorama brought an enthusiastic crowd of viewers to the community centre, RCAF Centralia, Sunday when area artists exhibited their work. Painters numbering 30 show- ed results of their work in dif- ,ferent art forms from tradi- tional to abstract and the freedom in color and thought paid lively tribute to their m- struetor., Mrs. A, L. Ashton, Centralia. Three tables in the building held ceramic pieces, each an individual study in shape and finish. Mrs. Jack Doerr, Ex- eter, instructed the nine-mem- ber class during the 1961.62 season-. A number of paintings in one still life group were of great interest to viewers. Described as an exercise in cubism by Mrs. Ashton, these pictures sheaved the various stages (de- pending on the individual paint- ers) of artistic projection from a strictly representational be- ginning, to the separation of shapes, to the ultimate illusion of space. Portraits of two different eubjecLe showed the variety in approach by individual paint- ers. Interesting backgrounds were used to give texture to still life studies. There were a few more imaginative subjects which showed— an idealistic view to painting and there were street scenes, landscapes and still life groups to please viewers of 'traditional mind. Painters displayed various stages of abstraction from focus on recognizable objects to a stage where the academics of design, line and color are 'primary, leaving only a feeling of subject' for viewers to pon- der. Interesting contrast Ceramics displayed were de- licate and d e s i g n e d with thought. There were a few pieces of ceramic sculpture in small figures and masks. A group of three elongated demi- tasse cups on three-cornered saucers with dark glazes stood Fete couple departing By MRS. ARCHIE DEWAR. BASELINE Mr, and Mrs. Harry Squire of .

She has been painting vigorously for about eight years. She has lived at RCAF Cent- ralia for almost four years and began a .class there duringi the first winter. Although she had no intention of teaching painting to begin with, she has enjoyed her classes and con- siders every student a serious painter', The exhibit marked the end of her work in the area since she and her family will move shortly to Ottawa where her husband, Wing Commander A. L. Ashton, will being a new position following his retire- ment from the RCAF in May. Mrs. Ashton has advised her students that they a 11 a u 1 d change instructors from time to time and that they should sift any instruction keeping what they want and being free from the things they don't want to use. "I have tried to give them confidence in things not eon- ventio.nal. There is a place for good amateur painters and a great need for art in small towns, It does take a while for painters to develop who just have a few lessons every year, but maybe after 'five years someone will say 'this is for me, and become really good." She stressed the importance of frequent viewing and study of paintings, and of making good use of resulting mental impression. With this idea she added the need to paint often. "Once a week is not enough." she said. She spoke encouragingly about the exhibit and mention- ed that there had been four offers to buy paintings from the show. Previous art instructor in the area was G. C, Koch, Exeter. By AVM G ft AND B E D At the meeting of the Evening ]'nit of the Grand Bend '1:CW held nn April 9 Sirs.
