         INDUSTRIAL EDITION OF THE WAYCROSS EVENING HERALD
                  Waycross, Ware County, Georgia
                              June, 1907
                          MRS. L. B. MOBLEY
     Mrs. L. B. Mobley, with studio on Mary Street is a teacher of
art, in oil tapestry, water color, crayon, charcoal and pastel.
     She was student of Prof. Hine, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and also of
the Cincinnati Academy of Art.
     Her tutition rates are six and eight dollars a month.
     Mrs. Mobley perfects in her colorings and detail as well as
contour.
     She displays some excellent pieces of work at her studio.  Among
them is a well executed piece of tapestry in oil, representing "Loves
Dream;"  a tapestry screen of three panels is particularly
attractive; another pretty piece of work in tapestry is named "The
Sheik's Daughter;" "Mignon," a painting in oil, is a very clever work
from the brush; "Saint Cecelia," in crayon is greatly admired; a
pastel, "Cacti," is very good.  "In Sunny Italy," in oil, a small gay
grouping in an Italian court is remarkably good for detail and
coloring; a copy of Rubens "Rubens Boy," attracts attention; "Our
Dogs," a landscape study is good; but, her masterpiece are undoubtly
the "Birth of Venus" and "Venus at her Toliet."  In the birth of
Venus the coloring is perfect, while the contour shows marked
artistic skill in that respect, while detail in facial expression of
the nymph and the cupids is everything that could be desired.
     Waycross is proud of Mrs. Mobley and her studio and she deserves
greater patronage.
