watercolor draws praise tribune october 5 1988 c7 ethel kennedy winner of a first prize at markham fair for a beautiful watercolor painting of flowers has enjoyed drawing for longer than she can remember but i think i must have started when i was very young she said she didnt receive formal train ing though she is now part of the flourishing markham group of artists which she estimates has a membership of between 50 and 70 some of the groups work is displayed at markham theatre and the markham library where the artists hold a meeting every wednesday mrs kennedy was successful with her first entry at markham fair in 1966 i got a second prize that first time and i was very sur- mane event is a winner by demise mcdonald it came in like a lamb and went out like a lion what began as the first year the markham fairs light horse show would experience near- perfect competition conditions resulted in a near cancellation of classes sunday thanks to a tor rential downpour and while many exhibitors were disappointed at having to pack up their mounts and return home the spirits of many were undaunted its usually the same group that follows a circuit and most are familiar with the weather conditions said light horse chairman carrie purcell they come regardless of what its do ing outside and wait to see what happens according to carrie who has been in charge of organizing the equestrian communitys most popular fair event for seven years friday and saturday saw a record number of entries a lot of it had to do with the cooperation of the weather man she said the arabian classes had about the same amount of entries as previous years but totals in the junior and pinto divisions were definitely higher carrie credits the increase to a new daytime competition slot for pintos and the allure of a ribbon for every competitor in junior that way we dont have to worry about anyone leaving the ring crying she said carrie is especially grateful to her show committee for their help prised she recalled but she doesnt confine herself to watercolors i started with oils and ive tried acrylics she said lately her work has been primarily done in watercolors though she enjoys painting when time permits she acknowledged that to apply herself to her hobby she has to be in the right frame of mind you have to have a little bit of spare time when you arent too tired thats why i dont get around to it more often she commented when she isnt putting brush to canvas she enjoys curling she is also an enthusiastic bridge player her association with markham fair goes back seven years when she started helping out as a volunteer in the antiques area of the home crafts building this year she was at her usual post taking a day off for a wedding on saturday she has lived in the markham area all her life and has passed her love of art on to her grandchildren they have a talent for it she said of her volunteer work at the fair mrs kennedy says she en joys it i have made a lot of friends here painting she observed is something that gets easier as you go along the more you do it the better you get she concluded ethel kennedy a first prize winner at the markham fair for a water- color painting of flowers is no stranger to creating art with no formal training she earned a se cond place prize for a piece she entered at the fair in 1966 helen downing
