Paint Nite

Paint Nite is a lot of fun. I signed up for one on a whim more as a social gathering with some friends (many who didn't actually show up!), and never anticipating the door it would open. It wasn't the finished product that I was proud of, but it was the feeling I got from brushing color onto a surface, slowly spreading it, watching how it created an image from my mind. I found a form of meditation I never knew existed, and fell in love. What's even more incredible is, I work for the largest art supply distributor in Oregon, so my access and choices of paints, brushes and canvas is within easy reach. Don't mind the rosy cheeks, I did have a healthy glass of Merlot.
