Paintbox Summer

A summer on Cape Cod!

Kate Vale is looking forward to a dreary summer at home, when the chance comes to paint peasant furniture for Peter Hunt in his world famous shop on Cape Cod. Kate sets off joyously, convinced this will show her parents her desire to go to art school is more than a teen-age whim.

At Peasant Village, the Peter Hunt art colony, Kate makes friends with Misty and Rhoda, and lives in a wharf apartment that juts out over the bay. She falls head over heels in love with a handsome young Portuguese fisherman. But then there is Bill, just Bill, who is always there, and somehow becomes an important part of her life.

Betty Cavanna went to this fascinating place and got to know Peter Hunt and his students. Mr. Hunt permitted her to use him as a real character in the story. It's like stepping into his Provincetown shop to step into Paintbox Summer.
