New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts Annual Exhibition 1914

‘N.Z. Academy Art Exhibition’, Evening Post, 14 December 1914, pg 2, “A portrait of a young girl holding a violin (200) and signed Flora Scales will commend itself as a bold and unrestrained piece of work and one full of promise.”

‘The Art Exhibition: Notes by “The Lay Figure”’, Dominion, 19 December 1914, pg 7, “Miss Flora Scales, whose study of horses was so much admired last year, is represented by a very charming figure study, No. 200, "The Velvet Dress." The modelling of the face leaves, perhaps, something to be desired, but the lady's dress and the drapery of the couch, are skilfully handled, and the whole picture is pervaded by a delightfully nervous and sensitive touch.”
