Ladies Night…Paint Night…Oh What a Night

My quest to fill my home with my own artwork continued with another paint night. I feel like I have done a lot of these this year. I counted my paintings, and I am up to eight. I also have six photos I enlarged over the years. So, I am getting there. LTB the artist :).

Tonight’s Paint Night started with dinner and great conversation. Followed by coffee/tea and dessert and great conversation. Paint night. And then more great conversation. I am blessed to have wonderful people in my life. Thanks, Crystal for always being a non-judgmental ear I can be honest and true to my emotions no matter how crazy and out there they are. Love you dearly.

Coffee/tea, dessert, and conversation are great for the soul!

Chunny C and Ayrion were also in the house. As was Kimberly W.

The rain!

Crystal in artist mode. My sister is hella gifted. Writer. Singer. Painter/Artist. And a beautiful soul inside and out. Go forth and conquer!

Still not sure how mine ended up so “busty” but I’ll take it. LOL!

Finished works.

Paint Night

My homie, Dreeny Paine, had a paint night for her birthday party. It was fun. I am so going to have a home filled with my own art and photos soon :).

The class was taught by Kay Moynihan of Simply Kay’s – Ladies Paint Night.Look her up if you want to have an event. She also does paint nights in Renton and Tacoma.

And the feeling’s right
Oh yes it’s ladies night
Oh what a night (oh what a night)”

May Activity One – Paint Night

Tonight, I did my sixth sip and paint type class. It turned out great! I really enjoy these classes. I am going to need more wall space soon!

Painting Class

My March excursion was a painting class. Mine didn’t quite look like the original painting, but it is starting to grow on me.

I need to search Groupon for April.

Arts N Carafes – Fourth Class

Last night I had another fun night at Arts N Carafes. I enjoyed hanging out, painting, and chatting with Anitra! The owner, Bev, does a great job instructing the class on recreating the painting of the night. It’s something different and fun to do, and you take home something you created and can place on your wall. And it’s very relaxing!

There are four other paintings I want to do. I’m going to run out of wall space soon! I never like my painting as I am doing it. At the end, I like it. The next day I love it.

Arts N Carafes – Night Two

This is from my second class, and I have another class tomorrow.

This is a cherry blossom, but it also looks like a plum tree blossom. We could pick from three background colors. The great thing about the class is that each person’s painting looks different.

Tomorrow’s class is another cherry blossom, but it’s in a more Japanese cherry blossom style. So looking forward to it. And it’s so awesome to look around my home and see paintings I created.

I am creative when it comes to writing and painting is something new to me, but I found it very relaxing.

Arts N Carafes – Class One

I’ve gone to a place called Arts N Carafes twice.

It’s a great concept. You come to class empty handed, and you leave with with something you have painted.

There is an instructor who walks you step by step through the steps to recreate the work. The painting is called “Starry Night,” but I added a twist. See below.

LTB, and It was a Dark and Starry Night

I went to an Art Walk in Renton this summer to see a friend’s exhibit. While walking around the other displays, I came across a business called Arts-N-Carafes. It’s a great set up. Each night, there is a painting that students will replicate. They provide all of the supplies and appetizers and one drink. An instructor takes you step by step in creating the document. My night was a night scene. I have labeled the piece, “LTB, and It was a Dark and Starry Night.” I have it hanging in my bathroom. I had such a good time doing it, and it was something different. There are a few more pictures that I want to do.
