Jennifer and I were sitting at my table one night . . . and she informed me that she had just signed us up for a paint night. When she showed me the painting that we would be doing I understood why she decided we needed to go. This is a busy time of year for me with the school year ending and getting ready for next year. Also - once school is out we work four 10 hour days, which usually turn into 11 or 12 hour days for me . . . so by the time this night came around I was exhausted and the idea of going someplace at the end of a long work day seemed like more than I wanted to do . . . but how could I pass up painting? Of course - I ended up having a great time and I am so glad that I went.
This paint night was by no means instructional . . . in fact we had to hold our hands on our canvases and vow to not say things like, "I messed up." . . . or "Mine is awful."
We were there to have fun and relax . . . and paint. I love to paint - so of course I was going to have fun! As much as I love skeletons . . . I am really not so sure what I am going to do with this painting, but I do have some ideas to turn it into something fun to hang up on Halloween.
A couple hours of painting . . . and a couple of Corona's with salt and lime . . . and the thoughts and any stress that I had from that 10 hour work day were gone.
Now Jennifer wants to sign us up for another paint night.
Paint nights are fun. Don't you just love looking around the room and seeing how different everyone's canvas is? Great job with those. Hope you get more relaxing time soon.
