Show LAMBOUKJfE'S STUDIO. Some Beautiful Paintings Recently Produced by this Talented Artist. i A couple of weeks ago a reporter of this paper started up to Mr. Lambourne's studio. At that time the studio was full of paintings. . A visit to-day revealed the fact that most of these pictures had been removed, in fact there were remaining but three or four large ones. Mr. Lam-bourne Lam-bourne informed the reporter that he had recently sold a considerable number of his works to Mr. J. R. Walker. He has sold a beautiful pair of California Coast - scenes, a very pretty picture pic-ture of the "Source of the Weber," and a magnificent painting, being a view of the Monterey (Cal.) lighthouse. Mr. Lam bourne has "just finished an excellent ex-cellent sketch of the Shoshone Falls on Snake river, for the U. P. office in Omaha. Another gentleman in this city I has just purchased from this studio four ' other pictures. One of these is a view of Shoshone Falls, another is a representa tion of Twin Falls oh Snake river. The other two pictures are a pair of artistic gems entitled the, "Geysers in Old Age" and the "Geysers in Youth. " The first named is a painting of one of those wonderful freaks of nature found in the Yellowstone Park a geyser spring and shows the beautiful and strange combinations com-binations of prominent colors and shades that are found in that fantastic region. The "Geysers in Old Age" is not only a peculiar picture but a very praiseworthy one, both from an artistic point of view in its treatment and" for Lambourne's j original idea in pairing with the "Geysers "Gey-sers in; Youth." The "Geysers in Old Age" was taken from a scene n Provo valley, near Midway, where there is a region of country covered with dead geysers. Ages' ago their activity was checked, and since their decline and death grass and weeds have grown over the surface where once they emitted hot, sulphurous waters. The artist has done exceptionally well in working up this sketch, and his making it a companion with the one from the Park is quite a novel idea. A duplicate pair of these pictures has been painted and sent to Colorado. - About five weeks ago Mr. Lam bourne moved his studio to a room over Walker Bros.' dry goods establishment. The idea I has proven to be a very good one as the sales of his pictures have increased ever since. |
