Show Original Oil Paintings Presented Field House Arno A. Steinicke, capable Salt Lake artist, has donated to j the State of Utah through Rulon i S. Howells, commissioner for 1he Department of Publicity and Industrial Development, two original or-iginal oil canvases for hanging in the Utah Field House of Natural History at Vernal. The paintings will be on display when the field house has its formal for-mal opening in October. One of the pictures "Deseret Temples" is a 33 by 40-inch can-! can-! vas displaying a part of Monument Monu-ment Valley in southeastern Utah. The picture shows the "Mitten" and other famous bluffs of the valley. It catches the deep richness of the red sandstone formations above the contrasting sands of the desert floor. Anyone who has visited Monument Valley will revel in the exactness of this painting. The second picture "At Summer's Sum-mer's Treshold" is a four by six-foot canvas looking southwest south-west across Morgan Valley in northern Utah. The fleecy summer sum-mer clouds blend admirably with the patch-work pattern of farms and pastures as the artist art-ist unfolds the pastoral scene. These two works, valued at SGOO will lend much enchantment enchant-ment to the many visitors who will see them in the field house. |
