Wine & Canvas Part 2

After going to the Wine & Canvas class with Cary, I couldn't wait to do it again!  After talking with my friend Cheryl, we picked out another one and told a few friends about it.  Cheryl, her friend, Jennifer, and I signed up for the Black, White and Red class at San Chez Bistro.  We had a fantastic time!  We had a couple of sangria's, yummy food, and lots of laughter.  Anyone who knows me, knows I don't like red, so I got some blue paint on my palette and mixed up my own purple for the flowers.  I absolutely love how the color turned out.  I think I have a new addiction!  I absolutely loved the whole experience and hope to do it again soon!  I just wish I had the talent to do my own, original pictures.  Here's how the  night went:

The original.

Wine & Canvas Part 1

I'd been seeing pictures all over facebook about these Wine & Canvas events, for quite some time.  They looked like so much fun but I am not artistic whatsoever so I didn't think I'd be able to produce a decent painting.  Turns out, you don't have to be super artsy to be able to bring home a pretty neat looking painting.  The instructors give wonderfully detailed directions and by the end of the class, everyone has done their own take on the original picture.  A few weeks ago, Cary and I decided to give it a whirl and we had such a good time.  They played great music, we had a couple of drinks, split an appetizer and laughed the whole time.  I took pictures of my painting as we went.
