"Vancouver Sketch Club"

from "Artists And Their Doings", Western Woman's Weekly - October 9, 1920


     Many invited guests enjoyed the hospitality of the Vancouver Sketch Club at the monthly exhibition held on Saturday. (Oct.2, 1920). Tea was served by Mrs. John Scott and Mrs. Bulger.
    The work arranged was varied and interested. Mr. Tom Fripp showed some of his beautiful landscapes, including "Lake Louise", "The Lions", from North Vancouver, "A Grey Day On The Coast", and "Old Hatzic Bridge", also a very finely executed landscape in charcoal.
    Miss Margaret E. Wake's portrait in oils was a charming child life study, and her "Gay Bunch Of Flowers" in an old blue china pottery jar, was happy and cheering.
    Miss Marion E. Jack showed two portrait studies, done at the club's evening life class, also landscapes in oil and water color, two of them being sketches done in Palestine.
    Miss Edith Wrigley's still life study, "Roses and Old Ivory," was a beautiful piece of work, both in color and technique. Miss Conran's delightful sketch of Stanley Park with its bright autumn tints was much admired. Miss Maud Sherman had two water color landscapes, both of which were excellent in colour and drawing. Mr. R.S. Sherman's "Seton Lake" was also very good. Mr. John Scott's charcoal drawings, most of them done at the evening life class, were exceedingly well done. Mrs. L. Killiam exhibited two fine landscapes in oils; "The Sunny Shore," and "Camping Out", which were much admired for their strength and color.

Laing by a water color of "Seaside Park, Howe Sound," and "Mountain Reflections"; Mrs. A.J. Pilkington by a panel of Pink and Crimson Roses; Mrs. J.S.
