In contrast to these people of greatness, I am simply having some fun and painting some pictures. I am too lazy to figure out the Latin for "I painted".
A couple of years ago, I was introduced to something called "Wine & Canvas". You sit with your friends, drink wine, and paint something. Hello - how fabulous does that sound? They set you up with everything you need and walk you through the painting.

Look how good everyone's paintings turned out! So much fun. After that first experience, I was hooked and signed up for several more.

I also branched out to other events with the same "paint and drink" concept. They pretty much all do acrylic on canvas, but there was this one watercolor I did with "Colors & Bottles":

Here are a couple where we copied my two favorite artists: Monet and VanGogh.

The goal was VanGogh's sunflowers, but I ended up with Susan's Susans |

Monet would not be proud |
Once I quit trying to stick to the planned paintings, I had even more fun.

We both went rogue with our owls. I named mine Butterscotch. (photo credit: The Party Studio) |

I went full rogue on this one. It didn't end up looking anything like what we were supposed to paint. |
And then I realized - heck, I can do this at home...
Come back in a few days and I'll start showing you my home brews.
Have you ever gone to a paint and drink type event? Did you like it? How did your painting turn out?
Your paintings are awesome. I can't wait to see more.
