Live Art – Montgomery’s Island
August 16, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm UTC+0
You are invited to come and watch some of PEI’s wonderful artists at this plein air event. This the fourth in a series of five, each with its own particular location and theme. To celebrate Montgomery’s 150th birthday, each event offers some of her words to inspire the artists. The theme for this event is domestic life, life on the farm, nature . Artists have two hours to finish their artwork and you get to choose which one you like best. You can also purchase some beautiful art for your home or cottage. Treats and background music are on offer for artists and spectators.
Today’s inspiration:
It’s such a beautiful day and such a beautiful world that I must “bubble over” to someone and you, old journal, are the only one I dare bubble over to. Oh, the world is so lovely now. It is the very prime of glorious springtide. The apple orchards are a pinky blush, the cherry trees are wreaths of perfumed snow; and in the mornings the fresh moist air is dizzily sweet with their delicious odors and resinous breaths of fir. The fields are like breadths of green velvet and birches and maples swing heavy curtains of green leaves. Oh, it’s a dear beautiful world!
