Clarice Woodson stuns audience at Holcomb Gardens

by Titus Blade Steel It is said beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and very much more so in those of the visual artist. However, this past Sunday, May 7, at Holcomb Garden House Auditorium, the saying lost its cool. When the general public from laymen to lawyers got a chance to see the beauty and to feel the captivating expressions of depth, dimension, color and composition, that as such only the eyes of the discriminative, perfectionist Clarice Woodson, coud have do to her desecression. Displayed about the moderate cottage style building located on Butler University’s campus, was an array of paintings and sketches of all shapes, sizes and subjects. Works consisting of pen and ink, water colors, pastels, oils, pencil and charcoals. What I found greatly impressive about Mrs. Woodson’s work, was her contemporary flair, and

her wide range of subject matter. From an aortistic point of view, her delicate, precise technique is quite amazing and involved a great deal of hard work, especially when one comes to the realization that painting, protecting, and handling over one hundred paintings is not easy. The charming, brilliant, and very versatile Mrs. Woodson, of 504 W. Fall Creek Parkway, North Drive, is currently layout and illustrating artist for Sears and Roebuck Company. Mrs. Woodson said, “I have loved and enjoyed art, as far back as I can remember.” When asked about her future plans as an artist, she said, “I hope someday to have my very own art gallery and work then as a commissioned artist, however, I occasionally am commissioned

now.”

This was Mrs. Clarice Woodson’s first exhibit of her work to the general public, and she hopes to have another one

sometime next year. I gathered from her background, her unique talent, her proficiency and theory in art, that to her and all the fortunate ones who saw her work art is here to stay. Mrs. Woodson has studied at the John Herron Art School, Indiana University and Ball State Teachers College. All I can say is that I think she has a very creative colorful, and most lucrative future ahead— so carry on.

PAT HART RENDERS SONGS IN RECITAL The audience who gathered in the sanctuary of Our Savior Lutheran Church, Saturday night, heard the beautiful and talented Patricia Hart sing. She was at her best in her rendition of Charles Gounod, “O Divine Redeemer,” which was nothing short of astounding. She seemed to have weaved a spell over her listeners and her interpretation of H. T. Burleih’s arrangement of the Ner gro spiritual “Give Me Jesus* 1 gave all a more religious loyalty. She is indeed an interesting young singer in the mak-

ing.
