A random pinot from Bottlerocket and we were set. Jessica was our instructor...and abstract painter from Boston. Like, a legit painter. Poor gal had to lead us Markles and the random solo gal Gail through the "Growing Together" art lesson. Paint by number except without the numbers and a Jessica demonstrating each part. And we had....SO MUCH FUN. Paint a little grape. Sip of wine. Rinse the brush. Dip in paint. Paint the stem. Sip of wine. Side eye peek at Lee while he's not looking, return to my painting. I'm not stealing ideas. We are painting the SAME thing. Such a fun hour of life. We poked fun at each other for the size of the grapes. We decided not to sign the canvases and have our apartment guest friends guess whose is whose. We joked on the walk home that we never even knew there was an art lesson studio just 2 blocks from home. This is what constitutes a perfectly random NYC night. Next time: advanced level paint class.
2 months ago, Sarah Kr and I thought it would be a grand idea to just...you know...take a random byob paint class. Pinot + Painting? This sounds right up my ally! What we didnt account for was a cold/flu/awfulness attacking SKr's bod and rendering her a sickie blonde for the night. In swoops the husband. Suprisingly, Lee is really feeling up for this class and if anything, slight annoyed that we didn't ask him to join us in the first place;)
