Young Artists Show Promise
Mark Briggs, aged 7, winner of a recent chain store art competition, comes of an artistic family. His sister, Kay, aged 9, took first prize at the Whakatane show for a water colour landscape. The gift seems to be inherited, for both their father and their grandmother have taken several prizes for paintings in both oils and water colours.
A distant cousin of the grandmother's was Lawrence Northard, R.A., who was killed in world war I at the age of 28 just after he achieved the Royal Academy distinction and a scholarship for further study in Italy. Congratulations are also due to John Williams, Ohope, who took first prize in the senior section of the competition in which Mark Briggs was successful. John Williams's work was exceptionally good.
