Sips n' Strokes

The abstract girls hard at work!

So much fun! We have been trying to do this since about November. Finally, we got our chance to become wine sipping artist! The concept is so fun. Sips n' Strokes---drink wine while you paint. At first I thought, how therapeutic then I realized my type A personality was coming out and I started to get frustrated. After we got past the initial first few steps and I sipped on my beverage of choice, which helps get the creative juices flowing, I was much better off! Our group was great--kali, emily, eleanor, lo, mac, and her friend jessica. We all had a blast. Emily, Eleanor, and Kali really had creative juices flowing as they went out on a limb and painted their own abstract.
Here are the results from beginning to end:

Getting ready to start our venture of becoming an artist!


About half way finished! Its coming along, slowly but surely!

The final touches!!


I give props to Kali--hers was amazing. She had no instruction, just a painting by her feet that she followed. I encouraged her to give up being a pharmacist and move on to a full-time artist!
