B.C. VITAL STATISTICS ON-LINE death (no certificate) (refer to BCVS)
" ... Major C.B. Fowler, in "Dawn of Day, Kitsilano", has reproduced the very atmosphere
of wooded cliff and winding beach."
From "Sketch Club Exhibit Held"
Vancouver Daily World, February 4 1924
""Dawn of Day" by Major Fowler is another dawn, but painted
in the subdued and tender key of A minor. The sky is pale, and an opalescent mist seems
to partially veil all nature. A crane on a boulder, silhouetted against the vaporous
light, makes one even more alive to the sweetness of the early hour."
From "Impressions of the Sketch Club" by
Alice M. Winlow
British Columbia Monthly, March 1924
""Golden Sunset," by Major C.B. Fowler, is well named, and is
a charming and realistic study of English Bay, at Sunset. There are some delicious blobs
of color in it, giving the effect of sunlight skimming the tide ripples."
From "The Midsummer Exhibit of the Vancouver Sketch Club" by Bertha Lewis
British Columbia Monthly, July 1924
"In the larger realm of landscape subjects are: ... "Dawn of Day," a lovely picture, by
Major Fowler; ... "
From "Semi-Annual Exhibition of the Vancouver Sketch Club" by Bertha Lewis
British Columbia Monthly, January 1925
"Old Country sketches were also shown by Major C.B. Fowler,
including "Clovelly" and "The Old Bridge, Abingdon, near Oxford.""
From "Private View Precedes Sketch Club Exhibition"
Vancouver Province, November 30 1925
" ... Major C.B. Foyler (sic), ... and others are exhibiting in the various classes."
From "Bargains in Art" by D.S.M.
Vancouver Sun, December 1 1933
"Oldest contributor to the show is 87-year-old Major C.B. Fowler of Vancouver."
From "400 B.C. Pictures in Jubilee Art Show"
Vancouver Sun, August 15 1936
