Live Art – Montgomery’s Island

You are invited to come and watch some of PEI’s wonderful artists at this plein air event. This the last 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 people . 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:

Marilla, walking home one late April evening …realized that the winter was over and gone with the thrill of delight that spring never fails to bring to the oldest and saddest as well as to the youngest and merriest…The spring was abroad in the land and Marilla’s sober, middle-aged step was lighter and swifter because of its deep, primal gladness.

There was something in her movements that made you think she never walked but always danced.

Rilla of Ingleside, L. M. Montgomery,

I’m so thankful for friendship. It beautifies life so much.

Anne of Avonlea, L. M. Montgomery,

Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.
