Spinter




There is a new season in PEI called "Spinter", meaning when spring turns quickly back to winter. On Thursday, which was five days ago, I was walking barefoot on Cavendish beach, yes, that's what I said, BAREFOOT, on March 22nd! It was a wonderful day with temperatures reaching 25 C.





Okay, I will admit that there was also a little ice on the beach but still...












Today, the world is dressed in shades of grey and white. I'm cocooning inside my house as the wind pushes my green lawn chair across the deck and snow piles into great drifts on my driveway.









But I haven't been idle. I am working on an art project for the Eptek Centre. A number of local artists have been asked to paint a table top to donate to a fundraising auction. I have chosen "waterlilies". The wooden table top is about 2 1/4 ft. by 2 3/4 ft. so is taking a lot of paint. Not nearly finished! I'm glad we're having a storm day, otherwise I probably would have procrastinated and left it til the last minute.

Beautiful! Let me know when the auction is - not that I could afford it, but I'd like to look and pretend anyway :)

Hey! Comments! I'm excited! I will let you know when the auction is. It should be neat to see what everyone comes up with. I think they were hoping to get 10 artists to paint tables.
