Being more â€" familiar â€" with writing than painting, I am not in a position to comment on the artistic merit of the work disâ€" played at the Festival, but I know what I like in painting. Abstract art, which was in abundance, usually leaves me cold, as I prefer to know what it is that I‘m admiring. So I found myself drawn to the work of two artists in particular. I drank in the fresh colour ofâ€" different scenes by Arthur "Llewellyn" _ Henderson, â€" who must belong to the small group left of a school of traditional painters who have combined realism with impressionism. He does all his work with primary colours only, _ mixing others from these‘ as he requires them. He told me that he "paints" rocks with a knife rather than a brush, which may explain why they look so real. For sheer beauty in painting, ‘"Liewellyn" topped my list. I doubt if I‘ll forget the gorgeous midnight blue in his moonlight scene, which I would have purchased if I could. I also loved his mutâ€" ed sunsets and graceful landâ€" scapes. BEATON ANIMAL PORTRAITS "LLEWELLYN‘" LANDSCAPES The Best in Show Award went to established artist George Forâ€" children The other artist I admired, Carolyn Beaton, had created a number of lifelike animal portâ€" raits.

I looked for a long time at one little fellow with shaggy fur and melting brown eyes, then noticed this portrait was one of the few‘ labelled *‘not for sale". I wasn‘t too surprised. If I had been able to paint it, I would not bave )nhd with it, ceupminF s Cas hk inlml I thoroughly enjoyed the unâ€" real atmosphere of walking around among hundreds of paintings at the Festival, and I am sure I was not alone in this. I understand that over 20,000 persons attended the show and that more than $6,000.00 worth of art was sold. The abstracts had their share Of admirers, and some of them were quite pretty. Some looked a lot like the age five art work I have decorating my hall and kitchen. Perhaps we â€" should have exhibited ours, but I had assumed the topsyâ€"turvy buildâ€" ings and Hallowe‘en people were created by an unsteady little hand, and thus find it hard to admire similar work by an adult. It was a unique display, and it pointed up the need for more opportunities for Canadian taâ€" lent to be shown. The Kiwanis should be commended for initâ€" iating this outdoor art show. I wish them success in making it an annual event. NY Educ. Board Chairman Won‘t Run In Election Mr. Robert Stanbury, Chairâ€" man of the North York Boerd of Education, has announced that he will not participate in the forthcoming election. "After really giving priority to the Board over my family and profession for four years, I am looking forward to being a fullâ€" time lawyer, parent and hus band for a while," he said. He is associated with his brother in the firm of, Hollingworth, Stanbury and Stanbury. Community service was stressâ€" ed in his earliet home life by his father, and the chairman uhow, "I ran for the Board of Education because I was brought up to believe that peoâ€" ple should do something of that nature, and I have always had a strong interest in education." Mr. Stanbury says he will miss all the people he has come to know and worked closely with on the Board. We are sure he will be missed also. Mr. Stanbury has great praise for Dr. Minkler‘s achievements as Director of the North York Board of Education. "He had the foresight to see the opportunity to build this educational syftem in a way that most educators in the western world feel is ideal. He is responsible for the excelâ€" lence of our triâ€"level system."
