faces and and scapes natural life interpreted realistically and abstractly but its only minute represen tation of her large artistic out put during the past 34 years The strongest works on display at the art club gallery are the pen arid ink sketches and the small water color pain tings of buildings and boats At its best Mrs lloveys work is relaxed and spontaneous deceptively simple expression of color and form line and shape that captures the essence of an old ham an old house or graceful sail boat with just the right amount of detail good artist knows that what you leave out of painting is often more important than what you put in and Mrs Hoveys sketches and water colors are splendid examples of this INTRIGLINGSIIIII Two of the water colors show an intriguing shift from purely
