"Miss Ethel Fonda and Miss Jessie Beldon also show good pieces"
      From "Vancouver Sketch Club"
      Vancouver Province, March 5 1923

""Ambleside" a water-color by Miss Jessie Beldon shows a purple mountain in the background. An alluring path cuts through the forest. The trees in the foreground are excellently done. ... "Chiron's Farewell" a pen and ink sketch by Miss Beldon is delicately done. It seems a study in exquisite curves. Sail, bow of boat, strands of hair, clouds, the fabulous animal, flowers, all curve and undulate into pictorial presentation."

"Miss Jessie Beldon's "Lost Lagoon" is a lovely bit of color. In the far distance Vancouver Island is hinted in a curve of misty rose. Point Grey is nearer and not so vague. Rosy clouds float in a daffodil sky, and the lagoon reflects all the tender colors of the fading sunset."
      From "Impressions of the Sketch Club" by Alice M. Winlow
      British Columbia Monthly, March 1924

"Miss J. Beldon's love of music is evident in her picture, "Sunset in Kitsilano." One feels the rhythm of the gusts of wind that are rippling the water and swaying the trees. The gulls homeward bound, suggest the storm is about to break."

      British Columbia Monthly, July 1924

"In the larger realm of landscape subjects are: ... "Caulfeilds," by Miss Beldon - a harmonious composition; ... "
