Clippings

""In the Fall of the Year" by J. Christisen has lovely Autumn coloring. The details are done with loving care. Only an ardent lover of outdoors could give such delicate details. The morning sky is pale and misty. It is a frosty morning, for as bruin, a very lively fellow, stalks along, you can actually see his breath turning to a faint spiral of vapor."
      From "Exhibition of the B.C. Society of Fine Art" by Alice M. Winlow
      British Columbia magazine, June 1924
