Samoa

Reproduction of an oil painting by Charles McPhee, promising young artist of Western Samoa. (See article in this issue.) Although he has painted seriously only in the last few years, he has already received considerable attention in New Zealand, and from the Americans who were until recently stationed in the Territory. Apart from skilful blending of colour, his ability to capture the atmosphere of a scene is remarkable. This picture was painted just outside Apia.
