“Yes, YOU can paint!”
Well, sorta….but it’s a good idea to bring something to drink so you won’t care as much that you CAN’T Paint 🙂
6 of us gathered at the Paintin’ Place and took our seats. There were tables on both sides of us with 6 people at each ~ but I noticed none of them carried little coolers in with Diet Pepsi, Ice, Cups and Airplane bottles. Rookies…..
For $35, I would take home the “Painting of the Day”…..a cowboy boot with sunflowers in it. Pretty Cool, Huh?
‘Cept I can’t Paint. Not even a LITTLE bit.
The instructor was an artist and said this was his first time teaching this class….bless his heart. He just had no clue what he was in for. He asked if anyone was celebrating anything special ~ when no one answered, I told him I was all glittered up and ready to go. For some reason, he didn’t have a response….hmph.
So we all had a canvas with a pencil drawing of what we were supposed to paint. We also had paintbrushes and a paper plate with 7 colors on there…and none of those colors were pink. I could tell RIGHT THERE we were gonna have a little issue….but luckily, I spied a LOT of paint on the table at the front of the room and made myself at home by going ahead and getting my Pink and Green 🙂
And so we began. Well, I began drinking and thinking about all that white canvas space and what I was supposed to use and put there and how to do it and what colors to use and how to make it all match and HOW DID HE GET THOSE LINES IN THERE and why wasn’t there any pink on that boot and could my flowers be pink and WHERE was I gonna put my glitter and HOW was I gonna do it without getting it EVERYWHERE but really, that’s not a problem and could I just take this home and do it cause I really don’t think I know HOW….
And then my friends, said, “Suck it up Buttercup and put some paint on that damn canvas”.
Thank Gawd ~ so I mixed some colors, played around on the canvas, ignored the suggestions (not necessarily a good plan….), got more colors, drank a few more sips, and finished early. Really, what else could you do with this…bwahahahaha!
Maybe I’ll give it for a gift……..I bet my Mama would like it 😀

That is um, bright and colorful. And different. And very impressionistic. Realism in art is highly overrated. 😉
