Arteastiq!

Well we have seen Pierce's artistic touch for the past month... now lets see if mama has it too... I had a girls night the other night at a place called Arteastiq.  We purchased a painting session on Groupon with no idea what it meant... but we were all pleasantly surprised.  As soon as we go there I found out that there were no lessons it was just social painting and you could paint whatever you wanted.

So we all headed to the inspiration table to get our creative juices flowing... I had already thought that I wanted to do something that reminded me of the Maldives bc I was not able to find a painting when we were there (another tradition that we have... but a painting in every country we visit)... and I happen to find a picture that reminded me of Male, Maldives.

Here is our station... and we are off...


By this time all my friends had their canvas covered in paint and I was just finishing my sky which took forever to get perfect (does it look like the sun is coming from the right?) then on the water... which was another challenge.

Gillian... well sweet GiGi has taken 4+ years of art in college... she is a graphic designer and she was a pro and totally looked like she was in the zone...

Every one's is coming along...

Ok now I have sky, water, sand... and now I have to do the tops of the buildings (do you remember our pics from Male... from the rooftop of our hotel... there were buildings stacked on each other and water in the distance)...

These three finished their paintings when the time was up... so fun...

GiGi and I have to go back to finish ours...

It was a great night... so much fun with good friends... stay tuned to see the finished product.  I had fun but I am no Pierce... maybe I should learn how to paint next time... :-)
