Ian Vorres. writing in the Hamilton Spectator on his de- parture from Hamilton said. “Mr. Smith has a unique capacity for capturing in his powerful water- colors the spirit of old homes and landmarks in and around Hamil- ton; he possesses not only the insight. but the sentimental at- tachment as well, of one who knows and loves his native city. He can therefore reveal with subtlety and delicacy the mood and character of any locality he depicts.” Recently “The Liberal" visited Mr. and Mrs. Smith in their new home on Lucas Street and saw many handsome examples of his work which has already won him a place in the National Gallery at Ottawa; a spot in an embassy overseas. selected for one of his watercolors by the Department of External Affairs: and he has won the award for the best water color by a Canadian artist, in the All Canadian Show held in London, Ontario. I Henry W. Smith was born in Hamilton and says he has been painting pictures ever since he was old enough to hold a paint brush. A student with Hortense Gordon during the early years of his career, Mr. Smith is employ- ed as an industrial designer -â€" and paints commissioned and free-lance pictures of great character and beauty in his spare time. Employed by a Hamilton firm as a de- signer for 17 years, Mr. Smith moved to Richmond Hill after receiving the offer of a better position with Amal- gamated Electric, Toronto. Many of Henry Smith's por- traits hang in the Art Gallery at Hamilton. the Hamilton Public Library and McMaster Univer- sity, but they are also found in numerous homes across Canada. It was at McMaster, when two Chinese students were in attend- ance, that the delicate touch Mr. Smith employs in even his most vital paintings was compared by these students to Chinese paintings. owing to their old- world charm and almost oriental delicacy of composition. Mr. Smith says he is an "out- door" painter. In fact, temper- ature is never considered by this artist who thinks nothing of don- ning a fur-lined parka, heavy snow boots and finely knit thin, woollen gloves â€" and sitting out in weather 10 degrees below zero. in order to capture “a thing of beauty" on his canvas. Last summer he and his wife Marie vacttloned in the Bad Lands of South Dakota, where he painted two pictures a day, completing a series of watercol- ors that bring the haunts of Zane Grey starkly and majesti- cally to life for the viewer.

They are Henry and Marie Smith, both ar. fists in their own line.

MILTON WELLS. R. R. 3 KING Phone PR. 3-5239 TEMPERANCEVILLE NEWS of Provincial Quebec, on can- vasses that radiate the romance of early Canadian history. Penn- sylvania, with its primly beauti- ful countryside; Parry Sound and Muskoka scenes; and the; cool stateliness of the Laurentians have all been captured by this artist who is no less proficient fl} his painting of teeming city e. Recently Mayor L. D. Jackson of Hamilton, commissioned Mr. Smith to. paint a view of the City Hall, and also a scene from the Central Market as viewed from the mayor‘s window high above the street. We had the pleasure of view- ing the City Hall picture “in the making” ,and Mr. Smith told us this was the second time he had used this subject. The first paint- ing was bo’ught‘ear‘lier this year, along with about two dozen others by art connoisseurs. Another commissioned painting we view- ed showed the demolition of the old City Hall; a previous study of this work was used by the Smiths for their Christmas cards last year. Marie Smith shares her hus- band’s enthusiasm and interests. being an artist in oil-painting herself. Marie paints only com- missioned portraits and is already hard at work on a portrait of 'a young local girl. However, she says she has Just enough art work to keep her busy, along with managing their beautiful split-level home and seeing that her husband Henry has a re- laxed atmosphere in which to pursue his painting career. We hope Henry Smith will find many scenes of beauty and interest to paint in this new 10- calehe and his wife have chosen to adopt â€"â€" and if, some winter’s morn, one spies an artist busy over an easel with the tempera- ture soaring down, down the scale, don‘t worry, Henry Smith is used to such things, and you can bank on it the watercolors will respond to his masterful touch perfectly â€" since he tells us he uses a 50-50 mix of water and methyl-hydrate â€"â€" just for this purpose.

This past week in passing the school we noted great business with teacher and pupils; but a day or two later heard many regrets that the “swinging branches” on one of the trees had become a casualty ofrtheAday. Congratulations on his four- teenth birthday are in order for Albert Johnston. Due possibly to anniversary services at Brown's Corners last Sunday, attendance in Headford Sunday school was rather low; but we are looking for much bet- ter things for next Sunday, which is Family Day. There will be a joint service, with the children taking a prominent part in the service. Parents who do not us- ually attend are asked to make a special effort to be present. so this can be a real Family Day. Children are asked to be in Sun- day school by a quarter to ten, in order to get organized for their positions in the choir. .The Cancer Campaign for this area is over now, and your can- vasser extends to all who con- tributed a very sincere thank you.
