No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Painting With A Twist

Today a group of ladies from church gathered for a Fellowship event at 'Painting With A Twist'. The 'twist' part of that name comes from the opportunity for folks to enjoy adult beverages, or what have you, prior to and during our time in the studio. Many of us brought refreshments to share, with me contributing muffaletta and crackers. They proved quite popular with me sending the balance of them home with Janet. Lynn even asked me for the recipe, and when I mentioned I got it at Basketique, she told me she'd never been there. We have to fix that!  

Tamara had organized the event with two other ladies, and had requested my friend, Sonya, to be our teacher, but she was unavailable today. Instead Becky did a good job handling us and everyone had a nice time. One lady brought her mom along who went rogue, painting another picture she saw in the room that she liked better. Did a nice job, too!
 One group of painters hard at it!

Here is our entire group posing at the end of the event. One of these things is not like the others....
My finished piece which Justin snickered at. This is a whimsical piece and I had fun, which is all that matters. I have promised it to someone in WI so they will appreciate it in their home, I hope!
