A son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Potter,

cation in the public schools of the town,
graduating from the High school. Daring

P otter would go to the brick yard of Frank
Wallace and spend his time making olay

talent in this direction that bis modelings
attracted general notice and he finally went
to Philadelphia and stodied sculpture.
When be completed his course be stood so
high in the estimation of the professors at
the Art Academy that he was given a posi-
tion as a teacher.
It was while teaching soulpture that he
took up painting and in a very short time
bad produced several landscape paintings
which drew forth favorable criticism not on.
ly fiom the press but leading artists as well,
In 1904 his lead pencil sketches of minia-
sure landscapes were considered so meri.
torions shat the committee in charge of the
exhibition at the Art Academy conceded
him one entire wall on which to hang his
display. A year or two later he not only
bad paintings hung iv the Academy for
their annual exhibition bat received very
favorable mention. He bas also bad pio-
tures boog in both the Chicago and New
York academies and now has little trouble
disposing of his paintings at prices that io
his boyhood days would have seemed a
fabulous sum.
Aud yet with all the above how many of
his boybocd associates know anything
about what the man and the artist is now
doing. Very few, in fact, know that every
¢nmmer he returns to the home of bis youth
and spends swo or three months, vot io an

ing. The first yea: of his return he secured
the old brick school hoase in Central City,
standing on the bank of the Bald Eagle,
aud partitioning it off into several rooms
fitted it up as a studioanda home. It is
pot luxuriously furnished, in fact only the
barest necessities in the way of furnitore
have been installed,as the prime object was
a workshop, and this is the dominant fact
throughout.
But a workshop it bas been in every
sense of the word, as is shown from the
amount of work done there this summer
by Mr. Poster. In the two or three months
he bas been in Central City be has painted
probably fifteen or more pictures, ranging
in size from 12x18 to 24x36 inches. It was
the privilege of the writer iv company with
H. S. Ray to be shown Mr. Potter's ex-
hibit, one day recently, sud we bave no
hesitation in confessing surprise and amaze
ment at what we saw. Confessedly we are no
art critic but it does not require the eye of
a connoisear to tell that they are works of
art. Mr. Potter's entire work is confined
| to landscape and marine paintings and he
displays she happy faculty of grasping the
effect of hissubject in its entirety and travs-
ferring it to canvas in a way charaoteris-
tically true to nature.
Last summer Mr. and Mrs. Potter spent
some weeks at East Gloucester, Mass., and
there the artist made a number of sketches
which this summer be bas completed in
oil. They are principally marine paintings
of views along the rugged coast of Massachu-
setts at what is termed Bass Rocks. They
are exceptionally well execated paintings
and it is a matter worth comment that one
of the number, a large 24x36 inch paiuting
entitled “The Iucoming Tide,” will be
| left in Bellefonte when the Potters return
to their Philadelphia home.
His collection also contains a number of
landscape paintings that are very striking.
He is now about finishing two which he
will send to the exhibition at the Art Acad-
emy, Philadelphia, November 16th to De-
cember 20th. One isa painting about 18x24
inches in size entitled ‘‘A Winter Scene.”
It is from a sketch made last winter near
an old saw mill on Dobbs creek, in Chester
county. The other is a smaller pioture
and was also sketched in the same locality.
He has several moonlight paintings in bis
collection, one of which is a sketch made
from the rear of his buogalo in Milesbarg
and takes in the Bald Eagle creek with
Muncy mountain as the backgronnd. The
gap throagh which runs the road to Belle-
fonte is plainly seen in the distance.
In bis work Mr. Potter displays an indi.
vidualism all his own, thoogh a few of his
piotures show the Lawson style. In fact
one or two of bis marines, so far as their
pronounced coloring is concerned, are not
unlike in style the work of Constabel and
Turner, the famous English artists. That
his pictures are growing more definite every
year ina fact admitted by the best art
oritics in this country and there is every
reason to believe shat some day be will
rank high up in the list of American artists.
Mrs. Potter also paints, but her work is
in the portrait line, and as she is as yet
only astodent none of her work has been
placed on exhibition or received the oriti-
cism of experienced painters.

for their going cut on the 14th.
