""At the Window" is by Frances Ashby. The child is in a contradictory mood. He is really
unwilling to turn from his bunny and woolly dog, but since you wish to see his face, he will oblige."
From "Exhibition of the B.C. Society of Fine Art" by
Alice M. Winlow
British Columbia magazine, June 1924
"Mrs. F.C. Ashby has certainly made considerable advance
in recent years. Her five portrait studies of girls are delightful in color and
praiseworthy in drawing."
From "Palette and Chisel Club" by Diogenes
Vancouver Province, November 6 1926
