"Mr. Blake Hunt has some more wet pastels including one of Seymour Mountain from the north, in which the difficulties of handling large masses of white are ably overcome."
      From "Vancouver Sketch Club"
      Vancouver Province, March 5 1923

"Mr. Blake Hunt's "Rocks" in wet pastell, has the accuracy of a photograph, with the reflections and coloring of an artist. The delicate green of overhanging branches suggests spring. The whole picture has the charm that Macdowell might have caught in a sketch in the key of D major."
      From "Semi-Annual Exhibit by the Vancouver Sketch Club" by Alice M. Winlow
      British Columbia Monthly, June 1923

"Those exhibiting included ... Mr. Blake Hunt ... "

"In "The Debutante", a very happy study of a girl with flimsy draperies about the bust, Mr. Blake Hunt showed himself an artist in wet pastel, and another study from life, that of the noble and patriachial (sic) head and bust of an old man."
      From "Sketch Club Exhibit Held"
      Vancouver Daily World, February 4 1924

""Silent Water" is the work of Mr. Blake Hunt. This picture has the charm of reflected colors. The water shows dark green, terre verte and silver-green. The mountains are mauve, cobalt and grey, reaching up to a bank of clouds that allow a patch of blue sky to shine through."
      From "Impressions of the Sketch Club" by Alice M. Winlow
      British Columbia Monthly, March 1924

"Mr. Blake Hunt's "Color Note" in oil should be named "Color Chord." It is a bold chord of blue, black, green, orange, red and white."
      From "September Exhibition of the Vancouver Sketch Club" by Alice M. Winlow
      British Columbia Monthly, September 1924

"Others exhibiting were ... Mr. Blake Hunt, ... "
      From "Private View Precedes Sketch Club Exhibition"
