Paint Party Friday - Social Painting


Welcome to Paint Party Friday!

Daughter L had bought some tickets to a social painting party as a birthday gift to me. We went several weeks after my actual birthday and it was a lot of fun. The photo above represents our finished work! L's is on the left and mine is on the right.  It is worth noting that of the 20 participants, nobody copied the actual work sample, it was more of a creative process.



L and I got iced lattes as the place offered snacks and drinks.





The painting above was my piece as I left the art studio, but I wasn't happy with it and changed it as displayed in the first photo!

Your daughter and you did an excellent job with your paintings. It sounds like it was a fun and memorable mother/daughter experience. Happy Belated Birthday!

Gorgeous art.

What lovely paintings.

Mark said...

That's a neat idea. Both paintings look excellent. Maybe artistic skill is genetic after all?

Linda Kunsman said...

these are both fabulous representations of the same theme Christine and I love how you revised yours and made the dragonflies simply glow under the dark sky. Happy PPF!

Both of them are very nice. Will you be framing and displaying yours?

wow i love your painting so much!!! it is incredibly mysterious and evocative. And also, wow, could there be anything more fun than a social painting class?!?!? I guess painting class in art school was pretty fun but sometimes not so much bc it was obligation v. social event (and we had no iced lattes haha)

Funn!!!!

Christine said...

Thanks Alicia

Beautiful job and I love how you did more of your own thing with it! I once attended a "Painting With a Twist" event and created a woman holding an umbrella before the Eiffel Tower. Her red umbrella looked more like a flower and the tower looked fat...but I love it! :)

Both your pieces look great. The moon is always fascinating, isn't it? And iced lattes sound great while it is so wonderfully warm right now.

Happy PFF :)
