Vino 2 VanGogh




 This is so much fun!



You make a reservation to spend an evening painting a canvas and drinking wine!
What a concept!

 Arriving at 5:30 Candy and I found easels set up and wine glasses at each place.

 It's a BYOB joint. No problem here.


Take a good look at my canvas. This is the best it'll look from now on.
We are all given aprons, brushes, paints and instruction. Turns out some of us do a lot better on the instruction than others.


Here's Candy working on her painting. She's really a very accomplished artist on her own. The instructor is the young lady standing to the right of the screen. The movie being shown in Lust for Life, with Kirk Douglas playing Vincent VanGogh. The lights were turned down and we painted by candle light, as VanGogh supposedly did.

 The rest of the class. One group of five brought a box of wine, and I think they may have finished it. They were VERY enthusiastic artists.

At the end of the evening with our finished works and our instructor, minus 1 bottle of wine.

Here's the entire class. The instructor judged the best canvas to be the one to my left, but I'm sure Candy and I were close runners up.
