Picasso?? Not quite...

We have this really neat place in Birmingham called "Sips N' Stokes" where you are guided in painting these amazing paintings. I have never been able to go, such a bummer! But, I love checking their website and browsing through all the different designs that I wish I would have a chance to paint! Anyways... since Birmingham is 1 1/2 away...and no one will go with me...I have created two paintings on my own. My first one I love! It was a very simple polka dot design...took no talent at all. So, yesterday I was doing my daily stroll (haha) through HobLob and came upon the canvas aisle....and I got very excited! There has been this Christmas painting that I have been eyeing on Sips N' Stokes for about a month and I knew I would never get the chance to actually go to bham to paint it... So last night I recreated it myself. I THINK I did OKAY. This one called for a little more talent... I AM NOT A PAINTER!!! Mind you, this canvas has about 10 layers of paint :) that's how much I messed up/wasn't happy! BUT all is well now... and it is hanging up and I'm satisfied!
