Plenty of paintings and photos Photo by Barrie Erskine Stephanie B ancroft from the O 'Doddell School in Scarborough com peted in the O akville F eis on Saturday. The ArtWorks program has returned to O'Connor MacLeod with the award-winning landscape watercolours of Fred Mitchell and the landscape photographs of Michael Jacobs. Mitchell has built a loyal following with his simple, honest watercolours that blend subtle colours. The Oakville engineer and college teacher has developed his life-long interest in visu al arts by attended drawing and watercolour classes at Sheridan College and the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. Jacobs is always trying to turn an ordinary scene into an extraordinary picture through the use of light. In this exhibition he has used his camera to turn everyday local scenes into mag ical reflections. Their exhibition, Landscape Impressions is available for viewing during business hours at O'Connor MacLeod, 700 Kerr St. until Sept. 15th. For more information, call the OAC at 815-5977. Riverdance converts local ballet dancer (Continued from page B6) KINDRED SPIRIT Brittany Dent, 7, was the winner of the Anne of Green Gables look-alike contest at Bronte Creek Provincial Park on Sunday. She won the entire set of Anne of Green Gables books. Anne of Green Gables Day at the park also included crafts, face painting, Vic torian ice cream tasting and an Anne trivia game. Photo by Julie Fairrie tain speed, and you can't change it," she says, explaining that Irish airs have been evolving over the years, so it's not considered sacrilegious to change them. During her year as a fiddler, Kathleen says she has placed every time but once when she has competed. And that one time, she had to borrow someone else's violin. "It was too big for me," explains the Grade 6 St. Marguerite d'Youville student. Laura Fung, 18, competed in the Novice dance category at last Saturday's feis. The young woman only started tak ing Irish dance lessons a couple of years ago. However, the former ballet student has progressed to assistant instructor, helping to teach children three or four years younger than those in her own dancing class. "I saw Riverdance on TV and found out a lot of infor mation about it on the Internet, and it sounded like some thing I'd really enjoy. So I decided to try it," she says, explaining her sudden interest in Irish dancing and adding that she only competed in solos at the Oakville Feis. Fung has completed her high school requirements in a home school setting and plans to work with young children in the future. ART & POTTERY ----------- \ Wed. Sept. 6 tiU Tues.
