 * Thank you for reviewing, Andrew Davidson! I also had trouble finding available images of her work online, but I have added a different image of Canning to the hook; let me know what you think. I will also complete my QPQ requirement today, and post here when done.  Ruby  2010/  2013  20:10, 15 January 2017 (UTC)


 * The painting is in colour and has a rosy-cheeked charm which might do well. But the photo actually shows her at work on a botanical illustration and so is more relevant to the hook.  We need a third opinion, I think. Andrew D. (talk) 20:17, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Good point about using a photo showing her art – I've swapped in that image into the hook. I've also added my QPQ above. Regards,  Ruby  2010/  2013  04:24, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the QPQ – I've updated the review checklist to cover that and the image. Andrew D. (talk) 08:15, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
