Page Eight Paintings of Two Desert Artists On Display This Month No two artists see the same scene alike. Cezanne, the famous French impressionist, ooce painted a plaza hWl(lreds of times at different times of the day, and his ex- periments proved the values of light, tone _ the artist's eye to the finished product. To further prove this theory locally, two desert artists - Ma:r\ne Booty and LorTlline lfcC\ung - have been painting outdoors tagether since September. The two mem- bers of the Desert Art League are the featured artists at the Cooununity Center . cUring themonth of March and the paintings they completed during that time will be hung side by side. The showing will demonstrate how two people can view the same scene differently, interpreting it according to their own in- terests, color sense and feelings. The worlts will hang inthe Cactus Hall and Joshua Rm. All interested persons are in- vited to view the paintings.
