"Those exhibiting included ... Mrs. Wattie ... "
From "Sketch Club Semi-Annual Art Exhibition"
B.C. Ladies' Mirror, December 15 1923
"Mrs. J. Wattie has contributed a picture of Prospect Point, a composition restful
and alluring in its soft coloring. The artist has depicted a place for reverie."
From "The Midsummer Exhibit of the Vancouver Sketch Club" by Bertha Lewis
British Columbia Monthly, July 1924
""Poppies" in water-color is shown by Mrs. J. Wattie. There
are purple, red, blue and white poppies of transparent colors and delicate texture."
From "September Exhibition of the Vancouver Sketch Club" by
Alice M. Winlow

was much admired, ... "
From "Private View Precedes Sketch Club Exhibition"
Vancouver Province, November 30 1925
"Mrs. Wattie's large flower piece at the end of the room showed dashing quality,
good color and drawing; a highly decorative panel."

Vancouver Province, April 4 1927
"So we come to the Pottery section in which Mrs. J.A. Wattie's green
lamp (No. 71) fish ash-trays, and a certain small round green bowl are particularly
beautiful, and finished with a lovely glaze."
From "The Note Book" by Julia W. Henshaw
Vancouver Sun, October 1 1932

Diego," a most colorful composition."
