man, Mrs. P. A. Sheets.
Guest Artist Introduced
Mrs. Sheets introduced Homer
Tudor, guest artist. She told of
his many accomplishments one of
which is being a very talented art-
ist. Mr. Tudor has studied with
several different art teachers and
spends his vacation each year in
Cloudcroft, New Mexico to further
his study.
In his talk, Mr. Tudor stated
that people paint for various rea-
sons, some for money, others for
relaxiation, etc. His personal rea-
son for painting is the pleasure
derived and the relaxation, he said.
During the program, Mr. Tudor
showed a group of paintings done
by local artists. Among them were
portraits, still lifes, animals,-, and
others. These were works of Mrs.
Dale Hitchcock, Miss Martha Bird,
and Mr. Tudor.
After discussing the paintings
shown, Mr. Tudor, decided it would
be fun to judge the artistic talent
of the' members present. Each one
was allowed two minutes to paint
any way they pleased on a canvas
begun by an authentic 'artist, Mrs.
Emory Bellard. The results obtain-
ed provided proof of the tUlent dis-
played by some one who had never
wielded a brush before.
Members expressed appreciation
to Mr. Tudor for bringing such
an interesting program.
