One of those moments came to me in an unexpected place the other day,
during a girls night surrounded by close friends.
The date was set, we were excited to get together, but the inevitable question always arises: What should we do? Dinner's great, but what do you do for the rest of the night? Movies don't allow socialization, and we knew we did not want to just sit around watching TV at someone's house...
A trend has started popping up across Georgia...Places where mainly women can go to drink wine with their girlfriends and be guided by an instructor to paint the painting of the night. I've done this before, and had fun; but for an artist it's not really challenging. It's what I like to call, follow the leader art. Great for non-artist! Regardless it's still a great thing for me to do with my friends who don't normally paint or create. Although, there was one problem none of us liked the painting that night. Why spend $30+ on something I'll probably paint over, and the other girl's wont hang in their house. So I got the big idea to pack up my art supplies, and do our own version of this, but each of us got to paint what we wanted. I wasn't sure how this was going to work considering they haven't really painted since elementary school. I was pleasantly surprised! All three of us turned out with very different awesome paintings, and they did all the work themselves with minimal assistance. Getting to see their results really gave me that proud mama feeling!
This was what I was able to complete during our time together.
I love painting with others around. I feel less anti-social that way.
And these two painting were painted by two people who haven't painted since elementary school.
Aren't they amazing!?!
