Father-Daughter Date

I am incredibly blessed with a dad who likes to spend time with us. Growing up he used to take me and my sister on dates. Last night we had one of our father-daughter dates. It was a blast!!
My friend Dez told me about a great little place called Canvas and Cocktails. Basically you enjoy a glass of wine while you paint! You take your own bottle of wine and they provide the rest; canvases, paints, brushes, aprons, and instructions on how to actually do it. I had been once before with my friend Mary. I really enjoyed it, but was a little disappointed with how my first one came out. I had convinced my dad to come join me for another class. First of all, let me say that my dad is such a trooper. In a class of 35, my dad was the only guy. Such a ladies man!
But, it was great night. We had so much fun!! And I had no idea my dad was so artsy. Great bonding time with my dad, for sure.

All aproned up and ready to get started

Who knew my dad was such the artist?

Our works in progress

Our finished paintings.  Isn't it crazy how different they are?
I'm sending my finished product to my sister. She loves sunflowers.

Very cool. That would be fun to do, but I am about as far away from an artist as I can be.
