Happy Halloween Painting

Without kids here and no trick or treaters, there really wasn't any celebratory plans.  No mummy dogs, no scary movies....Notta.  But what I did do is join Tiffany for a fun Paint Nite.  We met at Mellow Mushroom which is one of my favorite foodie places in Sugarhouse.  They have that fantastic soft pretzels with beer cheese dip (screw the pizza).

Tiffany loved Halloween and picked the painting and it was fun.  Sort of an impressionistic style painting of a spooky tree and houses.  The leader of the Paint Nite was spunky and fun and there was actually a pretty large group there.  We were warned there was lots to paint and we were going to have to move along quickly.  And we did.  Poor Tiffany and I were behind from the very start. We were often 2-3 steps behind and were pushed quickly.  The lady came over at one point and told us we were way too uptight and let it go.  Tough to do.  But we kept painting through the drying breaks and finally finished.  The bad news is the pace was so that we couldn't eat our food while it was hot.  We didn't get the breaks she had.  But we were both happy with our paintings and we had great fun together.

Lets get started

So this is my neighbors painting.  While I was painting the side
of my canvas, I accidentally hit her canvas with the corner of mine. 
It left a smudge.  Luckily she was on break. I tried to wipe it
off and it removed all the paint.  So I just added an additional
black flick on the far side.  When she came back, she didn't
seem to notice...thank goodness.

Finished.  Tiffany picked ar eally cook frame for hers.  I'll let mine be free floating.
