Two of my friends convinced me a few months ago to sign up for an evening of "Painting with Moent and Merlot" It was a deal offered through Living Social so we paid half price. It sounded like lots of fun. And it was.
Last night we headed off to a restaurant where the party room was set up for this little class. The instructor walked us through step by step on how to copy the work displayed. I love doing creative stuff anyway and this was perfect. Add a glass of sangria and life was really, really good.
Hubby and I have been talking lately about 'things' we want and other than getting a slightly larger TV when our current one dies (It's 10 years old and is a 32-inch) there aren't many actual things we want, we'd like to spend our money on experiences. We'd like to travel to Italy and the Holy Land, go to more live entertainment (plays, concerts) and things like that. We'd like to be able to take our future grandkids to museums and ball parks and amusement parks, and the beach and the mountains. Experiential.
Last night at the painting class was the very thing. I learned some new things (always, always a plus), spent time with 2 great friends and walked away with a painting. Life is very, very good.
The first picture is of our instructor demonstrating the next step. The rest are the progression of my painting.
