Fun, Festive, and Full of Color
There’s nothing better than mixing paint, laughter, and a touch of holiday cheer!
Yesterday’s Holiday Gnome Paint & Sip class was pure fun from start to finish. Everyone did such a great job bringing their tropical gnomes to life — bright colors, palm fronds, and all.
Each student went home with a cheerful painting that makes the perfect gift or a festive addition to their holiday décor. The tropical twist on a classic Christmas theme brought plenty of Key West spirit into the studio.
This coming Saturday is our Pet Portrait Class, the last class before the holiday break. After that, we’ll take a short pause so everyone can relax and enjoy the season.
My Paint & Sip–style classes — where all materials are supplied and creativity flows freely — will resume in January with a brand-new schedule.
Interested in a private or small-group class?
