The second Annual Exhibition of the English Bay Sketch Club was held this year in the
Coronation Room of Vancouver's new YWCA. Throngs of visitors enjoyed 119 paintings
displayed in the handsome surroundings. Flower paintings dominated the exhibition both in quantity and in quality of work. Outstanding in this field were competent works by Ann Millar, Dorothy Gould, Martha Findlater, G. May, Anna Blum, H.C. Greenhalgh and Elizabeth Taylor. Audrey Staples showed an exquisite small picture with Chinese motif. Reflections by C.A. Thirsk was original and well handled. Studio props inspired a couple of admirable compositions by L. Bovill. Alymer Pratt and Helyn Jeffreys gave a good account of themselves and there were some very fine black and white studies by Luella Downing, who also had clever watercolors depicting Hogan's Alley and the Skidrow of Vancouver. Other landscape artists were Audrey Staples, H.C. Greenhalgh, Alymer Pratt, W.E. Courtney, and W.E. Bryan. Venturing into the difficult field of portraiture were Amelia Carr, Elizabeth Taylor, and L.M. Green. |
