Tim WALKER GALLERIES, BOND STREET.
The two exhibitions at the Walker Galleries are both of water-colours, and although the " Pastoral " label is not strictly true, yet it gives the right idea. Here are views from half the counties of England, as seen by artists all of whom have a genuine feeling for the beauty of the English landscape. Mr. Ackermann's Devonshire Stream (No. 2) and Mr. Birch's The Higher Waters of the Teviot (No. 7) are water-colours in a double sense. Mr. Birch's streams always awake the desire to fish them. One feels convinced that this artist handles a rod as well as a brush. This is a pleasant exhibi- tion showing plenty of honest work of a fresh landscape character—a school wherein English painters excel. Miss Stannard, once the youngest exhibitor at the AcademV, has a show to herself with thirty-seven garden pictures. If one has a complaint to make it is that she so fills her canvas that one does not know whether to concentrate on her flower painting or on her ensemble, but her work is most decorative.
