AUCKLAND PAINTER'S WORK.
PRAISED IN SYDNEY. Mrs. Alice F. Whyte, an Auckland painter, who is a regular exhibitor in New Zealand, recently sent some of her work to the exhibition held by the Society of Women Painters in Sydney, and met with deserved success. The president of the society, Miss Ethel Stephens, spoke of Mrs. Whyte's work as "an uplift to the society, while the Press comments were very favourable. "Some forceful work is shown by Alice P. Whyte, her study of rhododendrons being one of the best subjects in the colleetion," said one newspaper. Another remarked: "Alice P. Whyte, of New Zealand, has considerable skill as » water-colourist. She has a fine colour sense and a sound knowledge of technique. Her 'Wet Day' has dash and atmosphere, while a sketch of boats waiting for the tide is opulent in colour and charming in its freedom of handling and transparency." Mrs. Whyte's study, "Rhododendrons," interested the trustees of the National Art Gallery, and it was later sold ?nvately.
