Lake Taupo.— Mr Jas. Sharp has on view, in the window of Mr Ross's shop, Taupo Quay, a very fine painting of Lake Taupo, with Tongariro in the distance. This is, we think, the best work from Mr Sharp's easel which we have seen. The drawing is excellent, and the colours are laid on with admirable effect. The scene which Mi- Sharp has chosen for his subject is at all seasons, and at every hour of the day, a beautiful one ; but it displays additional charms when at early morning the placid waters and snowy mountain tops are flushed by the rays of the rising sun, and the artist has done well to select daybreak as the most suitable hour for a pourtrayal of this wonderful landscape on canvas. His treatment of the scene is artistic. There is no straining after effect, and no exaggeration in drawing or colouring. We are informed that Mr Sharp's landscapes obtain a ready sale in Australia. ,
