So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Getting Used To The Drinking Paint Party New York Studios And Bars Make Available

By Eloise Hewitt


There are special events that happen in many of the bars and taverns in The City That Never Sleeps. These are organized to give people a place and time to be with their friends and have fun as well as drink, yet provide an opportunity to be creative also. A drinking paint party New York taverns, bars and studios offer are a way to have fun and not have to stumble home afterward.

A good indication of the popularity of these classes, masquerading as parties, is the number that are here in the Empire State and the city of New York. These parties are becoming popular all over the United States and this does not seem to be diminishing. The ability to accomplish something while having fun doing it is the major draw of these evenings out.

Finding out everything you need to know can be as easy as logging onto one of the many websites that list the times and dates in your area. Many websites concentrate on the New York area and others will list those for events across the country. The information will include videos that will show the fun being had and allow registering for the next event. Some will accept payment through various methods and all will point out the fun that can be had.

Posters, hanging in the premises of some taverns and other venues, will list all of the supplies that will be there for your evening. The easels will be there and the paints as well as brushes, some of them very specialized. The drinks for the evening will also be listed and the selection will be an interesting one. Many of these parties, held at private homes will let the students bring their wine and soft drinks.

With all of the supplies available and all of the fun envisioned as well as all of the ambiance of a professional studio, the best part is still to be found. That element that the whole evening is based on will be the local artist that will be conducting the class. They will present the painting for the evening and answer questions about how they view this particular image in the overall scheme of things.

Since there are many different genres of the painting arts, each artist will be as different in their approach as well. Some will be realists and some surrealistic in their treatments. Scenic art will be presented at one event and still life will be the subject with another artist. Each announcement, whether at the bar or on the website, will list the artist and their genre in order to schedule your evenings with the right one.

The way the evening works is simple. You arrive and meet with friends you have invited or who has invited you. Meet with others who are there and strike up new friendships. Make a commitment to spend a two or three hour period doing something fun and creative.

Circling around the classroom will be the artist. They can be found checking work and demonstrating techniques and brush strokes. Making sure each participant understands what is being asked of them will be an important part of their presence. The result can be a painting that each person can take home and hang up in a place of honor for the creativity it represents.
