NEW ZEALAND ARISTS
LONDON EXHIBITION LONDON, Dec. 1. Delightful paintings of New Zealand, Australian and English scenes are included in an exhibition at the Johnson Gallery, Kensington, in which a New Zealand artist, Miss Gwen W. Nelson, Havelock North, is collaborating with her cousin, Miss Doris Rob-ertson-Reid. Miss Nelson is showing about, forty water-colours and though she uses this medium for a very wide range and variety of subjects, her experiments are justified by the charming results. A study of '•Beeches, Virginia Water,” and “Autumn, Sussex,” in which the artist captures a pleasing effect of sunlight and shadow, arc perhaps the most attractive English scenes, and of the New Zealand pictures, three studies in warm sepia tones of “Middle Road, Hawke's Bay,” “Karaka Trees,” and “Plantation,” are treated in an interesting manner. But the Australian studies possibly reveal the artists at her best. “An Australian Dairy” is particularly charming, and the reflections in “The Hawkesbury River, N.5.W.,” make a very pleasing picture. Miss Nelson's future plans are not as yet certain, but she will remain in . England until March at toast.
