DISTRIBUTION  OF   PAINTINGS

GEORGE WINTER'S Oil Paintings, which are now on exhibition at Mr. Conyngton's 
Book Store, will be disposed of after the Art Union manner, December 24th, 1853.
These original efforts of the pencil are very expensively framed. The lovers of Art are 
invited to see these paintings, which have been admired so much for their fidelity to nature. 
There are six of them offered for distribution.

“SCENE ON THE WABASH," in vicinity of Logansport—the distance finely mel-
lows into the horizon—in the centre of the view, a wooded island—cows fording, giving life to 
the scene—in the foreground fragments of rock  and tumultuous waters dashing along.

"EEL RIVER," representing a fine scene. The view is taken above its confluence with 
the Wabash. The Indian summer haze rests upon it. The foliage indicates the autumn season. 
A flat boat in the distance—foreground rich in variety of weed and shrub.

"THE BIG MIAMI."—The setting sun with shafts of light shooting up is an attractive 
part of this painting—the reflection giving brilliancy to the near objects. A Bayou runs up to 
the foreground.    A hunter and dog   crossing a fallen log give a picturesque effect to the scene.

" CATTLE SCENE."—-The principal interest of this scene is a group of Cows reposing beneath the shade of a majestic leafy oak—a warm mellow sky forms the background, agree-
ably relieving the foreground group.

"UPPER WABASH."—A beautiful bend of the Wabash in vicinity of Lafayette. The 
sun is setting, and the red clouds of evening float upon the warm sky. Water clear, imaging 
the woody banks—figure and dog in middle distance—foreground rich in color and variety of tangled weed, and logs of decaying timber.

"BLUFFS OF PROPHET'S TOWN."—The Wabash river flows at the base of the 
bluffs—a forest view of great distance presents itself—a chaste and mellow tone of color prevails in this painting. This scene is rendered interesting from its historical associations. Tecumseh 
and the Prophet planted their wigwams here during the bloody conflict with the white man.
