Bonsai!

Once upon a time, Paint Nite tickets were on sale. June thought this would be a great opportunity to go to a fun event with her friends. So we got three tickets.

We kept an eye on the paintings, but nothing ever seemed to fit. Wrong night, wrong painting, wrong location. Eventually, it got close to our tickets expiring, so I told June that she just had to choose a night.

She chose a night with a sweet little Bonsai tree, but sadly, her friends could not attend that night. Well, Robyn is always down for some painting and so am I, but it seemed silly for three of us to paint the same thing, so instead, I asked Camie if she'd like to go again. She had such a fun time with Robyn last time.

She was totally on board, so one evening I sent the three young ladies on their way to paint the night away. Bless their souls for taking pictures too. Well, actually I had to bring Robyn straight from work, so I took one picture as I left the three to work on their masterpieces. They were in the basement of Dragon's Keep. Strange location, but it works.


This picture started like many others, with a gray background.


And then turning it into some misty mountains in the background. (Can I say misty mountains? Is that copyrighted?)





It is important to stop and take a selfie to remember the good times.


I wonder who took this picture for them?


After mountains a large black outcropping formed with grass growing along it, and of course, the star herself...the bonsai.



Sometimes you have to stand back to tell if you are finished.


Looks good everyone. These are some of the best bonsais I have ever seen. And now two of them hang proudly in my house. (The picture was a bit blown out on the left and June's mountains have disappeared.)


Paint nite never gets boring. I like that they are different but similar. They each have their own style and flare.


It looks like Robyn uses herself as a palette. She is like a green zebra.


And they all lived happily ever after.

THE END.
