RRRRR Matie! It is that time of year again when the buccaneers invade the city of Tampa. Gasparilla Day is a tradition that has been honored since 1904.

A lot of people ask me how different is Painting with a Twist than Color Me Mine.

I say it is a lot different. What makes it so different is the atmosphere. Color Me Mine has more of an arts and crafty kind of feel to it. They also paint on pottery and not canvas. I feel more like an artist when I paint on canvas but that could just be me. Painting with a Twist will provide the class with a local artist, who will walk you through the painting process. Also Painting with a Twist allows the customer to bring in wine or their favorite adult beverage. This is what makes Painting with a Twist feel a lot more sophisticated than Color Me Mine. This is also what makes it a lot more fun in my opinion.

This was one of my favorite paintings at Painting with a Twist in Slidell. It is called “La Luna” and it is a lot of fun to paint. It is a 2 hour painting and I love the contrast of lights to darks. It is very Van Gogh. It reminds me of the “Starry Night.” They haven’t put this on their calendar in a while but I am sure if you request this painting they would love to do it again.  This would also be a great painting for a private party.
