"A bright little scene, "Carvell Mission, California," by Mrs. H.J. Wattie,
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."
From "By The Way In Art"
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
"Mention should also be made of Mrs. H.J. Wattie's "Palo Mission, San
Diego," a most colorful composition."
