A Mother Daughter Affair

Last night my mom, sister and I went to Masterpiece Mixers to take a painting class and drink some wine together! We had such a blast. Jay thought I was going to a real painting class where I was going to learn technique and may end up being a brilliant painter. I so admire him for believing that I could be good at anything if I tried! It was really just a step by step program where we did more chatting and catching up than learning. However, Jay did think that my first "masterpiece" was definitely worthy of space next to his work on the wall. For me, I couldn't be anymore excited if Tory Burch asked me to hang one of my designs in her store!

Mom and Paige getting ready for class to begin!

Adding the orange. I know this was Paige's favorite color and she was so glad they chose it for her! ; )

My cross!

My mom's painting after she added the abstract lines.

Mine doesn't look as good after the lines. She said to put white on and then smear it so it blends with the orange...well my orange was dry and nothing blended...oh well!

Anyone who knows me knows I like to have order to everything I do. Clean lines are a must...so when she told me to pick up a glob of paint, take my shoes off, put my painting on the floor and go to town I wasn't quite sure what to do. Who knew throwing paint could be so liberating though?

My finished piece!

The ladies! They all look soo good!

Rocking out our smocks!!

When we were done we could sign the wall. Of course it turned into a football argument...are you new? BTW...WAR DAMN!! Ha...Paige you can't cover that on my blog like you tried on the wall!

All in all, we had a great time, and I would love to do it again. They rotate paintings every three months, so for the next three months I am sure we will have quite a bit to chose from. There is even a tiger eye painting at the end of the month...wink wink!!
