First Wine Art Wednesday!

Discussing men, dating, and married life seems like it will surely become part of our weekly discussions - love runs life it seems, right?  But on our first night of play we covered mystery greens, original stories, wine and pom juice, recipes, second helpings, and much more.  We also realized that if we are going to be drinking, painting, and chatting - then blogging about it - that we should probably keep a notebook out to be able to write about it the next day.  Good thing one of us was sober!  But to the good stuff:
Jen was so quick that she was able to move on to a second canvas!  Actually, Joan (pronounced Jo-Anne) was too, but she was pouring extra wine (and water), putting out more delicious food, and generally being the most amazing host ever...so thank you!  We used fluid acrylics this Wednesday and Joan made chicken adobo on top of rice with sides of carrots and baked beans - yum!  The center piece on her kitchen table became our subject and with three different views (and skill levels - I'm certainly the beginner!), let's just say it was the most fun I've had in a long time.  Anyone know what this mystery green is?  Apparently it tastes bitter and spicy!
 
And the three finished paintings: Jen, Joan, Alex (see...beginner!  I can only go up from here!)
We had such a blast that it inspired this blog and Etsy site where we will be selling all or most of the paintings: WineArtWednesdays!  Also, please feel free to email us at WineArtWednesdays [at] gmail.com (sorry that you can't easily copy & paste, just trying to stop the spammers!).  Here we go!

To painting, slow food, and fine wines (who's name I will write down next time!)!
