Tonight was a little Mommy's Night Out with some great girlfriends! We had previously (like 3 months ago!!!) each bought a Groupon for
Wine & Design: "Where you bring your own bottle of wine (or beverage of choice)
and enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with friends, fun
and fabulous art!
You supply your cocktails, and we’ll supply the rest. At WINE AND DESIGN, all you have to do is sign up,
show up, sip up! Your canvas, paints, paintbrushes, and corkscrew will be
waiting as a local artist helps you create that night’s featured painting. You
go home with new friends, great memories, and a newly-created masterpiece that
shows off your “inner artist." No experience in painting? NO problem, our local
artists will guide you step-by-step! Our paintings are suitable for the
first-time painter or for more experienced artists." (how's that for a great explanation off their website :) )
Anyway, Toni, Christie, Karly,
Lindsey & I were excited to unleash some creativity on canvases! We all agreed to do the painting "Palmetto State of Mind". We got there early for a good seat (aka...me in front of the instructor) and were ready for some fun! I'll have to admit that my ADD kicks in faster than I'd like, because after about an hour, I'm DONE. Not to mention my artistic skills are LACKING. It's always fun to be with my greatest gals though and always better when there's some wine involved.
Here's how my painting progressed:
There's a horizon...
A little ocean action...
Look! A Palmetto Tree trunk & some grass
Yeah...that's supposed to be a Palmetto Tree
Toni & Christie working hard
Lindsey's got it under control!
Karly is our resident Artistic Extraordinaire!
I've add some more foliage and a bird
A special touch from Karly to send to our special solider
Ta-DA! All finished!
Mine & Karly's.... She's so talented!
While the class ended up running a little bit later than usual, we all had a great time! Can't wait to try this again with you ladies!
