"Mr. D. Bagnall has in No. 21 a careful study of trees which
is entitled "Early Autumn" in which he has treated a difficult subject with a fair
amount of success and the general effect is highly pleasing. His "Evening" No. (33?)
is what artists call "a bit too pretty" both in color and idea. Of his "Alta Lake", a
larger watercolor, it may be said that the top part of it is much better than the
lower third."
From "With The B.C. Artists" by "A Visitor" Vancouver Province, September 27 1916
