101/1001 - #56: Paint a canvas - Done!

i went to a great painting class tonight with a dear friend. it was one of those classes where everyone paints the same prompted image, and it was held at GeeBerry Art Studio here in austin, texas. it was so fun, and the instructors were really wonderful. we're already planning to go back.

so, here are a few photos. pardon the probably questionable quality; they're from my really old 3G iPhone.

near the beginning of the process - just the background colors.

so, i'm definitely *not* a painter. i'm also really heavy handed with the paint, but i found that i really like the texture the canvas has as a result. 

our table was most definitely the coolest of the four, and all the ladies we were with were really kind and funny. i definitely recommend taking one of geeberry's classes to anyone, because everyone is really supportive, so it's a really low stress environment where you can just sort of create what you create. 

they offer kinds courses from age kindergarten up, so i'll definitely be looking to take my munchkin when she's of age. 

regardless of my personal talent, though, this was a really good time. you should try it yourself. :)

p.s. when i arrived home, my husband's first response, aside from telling me he liked it a lot, was to say, "hmm, the eiffel tower or narcissism at its best?" hardy har har, sir. hardy har har. ;)
