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

Six - year old jack Christie,

years.
Denise Kerslake, SS 7 and
Bob Harris, SS 2 each came

bert was placed second in the
unison chorus class,
a London show, sponsored by
the London women's committee
to the national ballet. 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.
