Clippings

"In a measure the Okanagan captures the show with splendid entries by Louise M. Schwenk and Christina Laird of Penticton and Vaughn Grayson of Summerland. Christina Laird, one of Canada's most promising flower painters, shows a rich study of marigolds in watercolors which is full of life and character."
