Starry Night

So, Sam and I decided to channel our inner Van Gogh for the night and headed over to Painting With A Twist here in Murfreesboro for some painting fun. If you know me, you may know that I'm a terrible artist. I can't draw a straight stickman, nor do I have a creative bone in my body, so this was way out of my comfort zone. The fun thing is, they let you bring your own snacks and drinks of choice. For us it was a bottle of wine to help get the creative juices flowing. And if we go back, we may be bringing some Gigi's cupcakes or Julia's Bakery with us to get even more inspired. It was a lot of fun and I definitely plan to go back. In fact I'm already checking their calender to pick out what I'm going to do next. Who knows I may become an artist after all!



This is what the painting is suppose to look like.....

Slowly but surely we're making progress and it's starting to take some shape

Our class hard at work on their paintings

Sam almost finished with her masterpiece, while taking a break to finish off our bottle of wine. As you may see, I'd already finished off my glass. One rule they had was, when in doubt take another sip of wine.....yeah, I found myself following that rule a lot!

Almost finished! I think I was the main one the instructor was talking to when he'd say relax, just go with it, don't think too much. I think I was a little too OCD....

And our finished products. I think Van Gogh would even be a little jealous. Ok, well my tree may look like a big hand reaching out trying to grab the stars, but hey I was happy with my first painting attempt. Move over Van Gogh there's some new artists in town!
