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 first 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 landscapes, streetscapes, villages and 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:

“It isn’t too old a house, too old houses are sad. And it isn’t too young, too young houses are crude. It’s just mellow, I love all those magnificent trees on the lawn. I don’t know who planted them but every time I go upstairs, I stop on the landing, you know that quaint window on the landing with the broad deep seat, and sit there looking out for a moment and say, ‘God bless the man who planted those trees whoever he was.”

Anne of Ingleside by L. M. Montgomery
