Last month I made a list of 27 things I want to do before I turn 27 in 14 months. Today I get to cross one off!
Last night, Allie and I went to
P&P is a learn to paint fabulous paintings while drinking the wine you brought and eating the food you brought kind of place.
We met up with Allie’s neighbor, Corrie, and her friend Lisa.
Some seriously fun girls.
At first, it felt a little like pre-school with the smocks and the cubbies and the nap (weird) but we found our names and got our supplies ready to go.
Canvas, paint, crackers, cheese, wine…we were set.
To celebrate the occasion, Allie bought us these super cute wine glasses. I love my hot mariachi man glass!
After Corrie got done eating the other peoples’ food, and Allie warmed up with some dance moves…
we got started, with a toast naturally.
The sketch. Obviously I am a natural. By natural I mean obviously this is like paint by numbers for me and I really concentrated to follow instructions which is far from normal for me.
So yes, a natural.
Our teacher, Amy
Which reminds me! Mrs. Chapman, I think you would be fantastic doing this in RI!! I’ll start working on the business plan.
As always, Devin was inspiring me, even though he wasn’t there.
And pretty much after we painted our faces, things got crazy.
Friggin serious painting.
This is right about the time Devin rolls his eyes, shakes his head, perhaps he slaps himself on the forehead, and emails me something to the effect of “You are my wife”.
2 red heads always equal trouble. and hilarity. and so much fun. What the heck is up with my hair?
The finished product! Van Gogh would be so proud! Actually, I think he may be offended that neither of us liked the original colors he chose. Sorry you had bad taste, Vincent.
And then, as if my night couldn’t get any better, I found this on the street during our walk home. Luckily I know how to operate such a sophisticated machine with one hand because Corrie could have been seriously injured. You owe me, CORRIE!
When I showed this to Devin, he got so ridiculously excited and begged me to hang it in his office.
Fine, Dev, you can have it!
Pinot and Picasso. Check.
You are Awesome! I'm glad we're friends. Even though you're a better painter than me... ;-) What can we cross off the list next?
