In my dream world, I would be a brilliant artist, as in painting/drawing/etc…but my artistic strengths are firmly rooted in music and photography! That being said, lots of my friends have been doing “paint nights” for the last couple of years since they became big, and I definitely have been intrigued by the idea: can they really teach a girl with NO painting skills to make something nice?  So when a sweet friend and old student of mine was hosting one for a birthday get together, I figured I better check it out.  I adored our teacher and had an absolute BLAST but I’m not sure I became any sort of painter in the process! 😉 That being said, I am so glad I went and wanted to share some images from the event here!  Have you ever gone to one of these events?? How did it go for you?!

Here is the painting we were recreating (this is part of what lured me in- I ADORE it!) done by our teacher:

They take the painting they are teaching apart part by part and walk us through what to do!
My beautiful best friend, with TONS of artistic bones in her body, painting!
The birthday girl getting some tips! 🙂
Loved using this as a part of the process!
One part of mine that didn’t end badly! 😉
A couple of incredibly meaningful parts of 2 sweet ladies’ paintings honoring our sweet Emily who we all miss endlessly.
The birthday girl and I and our end products, followed by the whole group! I defintiely recommend these events if you have the opportunity to check one out!!   Friends, if you were here, I probably have some pictures of you- but some were just too special to post here! 😉 I will post them elsewhere soon!
