A Night of Painting

                           

My very first paint party happened on Saturday! It was one of the many highlights of my weekend. I told you all in previous posts that I was a tad nervous, and I was. However, when I got there and started, my nerves calmed and it was like I was meant to be there. I was in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. The thing that I was destined to do. It seemed natural!

I didn't really paint like I expected. I gave lots of verbal instructions and was able to go around to everyone individually to lend a helping hand when necessary. Although they were all painting the same picture, each persons interpretation of the verbal instructions was different. There were varying compositions, colors, and textures on each canvas. 

                                                                    

Everyone did an excellent job! As the night went on there was a mixture of laughter and intensity as they made their very own masterpieces. There was a good time being had by all, but I'm sure I had the most fun by far. It was amazing to see their end result from a blank canvas. 

It made me think of our lives as human beings. When we are born, we are virtually blank. Life's events are painted strokes that create a finished masterpiece. There are some strokes that we have control over and others that we don't. Of the strokes we do have control over, we can choose to strategically place them on the canvas creating a beautiful portrait or we can choose ill thought out strokes that will make the portrait "muddy"...unpleasant to the viewer. 

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you catch my drift! 

This was the first, but definitely will not be the last. As a matter of fact, if you are looking to have a great night of fun with friends and family or a combination of both...consider having a paint party. There isn't a better way to explore your creative side, while being inspired by others! For inquiries, please feel free to contact me at:
