TERRY LEMASTERS AT CAC!

A ONE WOMAN SHOW UPSTAIRS WE hope that Terry Lemasters will soon have another show! She is persistent as to subject, --PEOPLE, PETS, AND THE LUSH GREEN OUTDOORS, AND she considers herself a perennial art student, and that's good! -In the meantime we'd like to comment upon her recent Upstairs exhibit at the historic Columbus Cultural Art Center ON Main Street near downtown Columbus. The Art Center Show was of value, not only because of LeMasters'painstaking City-Park-scapes, but because her understated washes and drawings display the painter's declared and fruitful efforts as an art STUDENT. Watercolor is a wild and difficult medium. To paraphrase General Patton : those colors WILL run! The LeMasters show, its winding brooks and stately arbors, most of them "local" in the general sense of the word,--is well concieved, accurate, and serene. There's something about the work that is . . . meditational. A suggestion might be that this artist could "paint a little bigger." -- That's actually a compliment! LEMASTERS IS PLEINAIRE TO THE HILT!
