The Sketch Club members entertained their friends at a
very enjoyable tea and exhibition, Saturday afternoon, when
Mrs. Stateira Frame and Mrs. Donald Downie
presided over the dainty tea table. Those assisting were Mrs. Conran,
Miss Christie and others. There was an interesting display of recent work.
A magnificent watercolor of British Columbia mountain scenery by
Mr. Thos. Fripp was admired. Miss
Edith Wrigley contributed a rich toned painting of wall-flowers excellently
done. Mrs. Graham (sic) Harvey displayed a handsome
scene of Swiss mountains, and a Victoria marine view. Mrs. (sic)
John Laing's sombre toned watercolor of Boundary Bay was most successful. A
distinctive note was cast by Miss Christie's decorative
panel, while her clever pencil portrait was also much admired. Freshness was the
dominating note in Mr. John Scott's watercolor.
Mr. Dermot McEvoy contributed an artistic oil landscape,
and four good pencil sketches. Decidedly refreshing were the two dainty watercolors
by Mr. Jolly. Mrs. Dan McLellan's
interior was distinguished for its skilful combination (of) rich colors.
Miss Maud Sherman's watercolor of a shack on
Savary Island created much interest. Mrs.
Donald Downie displayed two tasteful watercolors of local scenery.
Mr. Maloney showed a well executed still-life in oil, and
a pretty scene of English Bay. A colorful sunsets (sic) scene was contributed by
Mrs. Whinning (sic), also several pencil sketches. Three
charming watercolors by Miss Margaret Conran attracted
much attention, and especially the view of the old station. Mrs.
T.D. Bulger displayed two artistic scenes. Vivid coloring was characterized by
Miss Thrupp's still life. Mrs. Rankin
hung a scene of The Lions, done in her usual distinctive style. Clever pencil sketches
and also a pretty pastel landscape were shown by Mr. Amess.
Miss Bastin was represented by a skilfully done pastel of a
young girl. Much credit is due to Mrs. Mariacher for her
splendid portrait of a girl. Mrs. McKenna and
Mrs. Baron contributed handsome paintings.
