Painting with a Twist Ribbon Cutting

As a member of the Middletown Chamber of Commerce I had an opportunity to attend the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Painting with a Twist located in the Dove Run Shopping Center.

Having never heard ofPainting with a Twist nor having had a paint brush in my hand since elementary school – well not counting the paint brushes that I use for the house, I thought I would just go to hang out and take some pics for my blog. 

However, when I say that I had a blast, I mean I had a blast and I even painted something decent enough to hang in my home office!  

(Nothing compared to The Rising Phoenix featured in Monday’s post!)

It was a fun and entertaining evening and why wouldn’t it be…wine paired with step-by-step painting instructions, music, food and dancing.  This was definitely a great way to work off some stress after a long work week and to head into the weekend.

The next day after telling a few people about how much fun I had, most of them knew about the franchise and some even said, “that their parents loved it”.  I guess since I’m a boomer, they naturally assumed that I should have at least heard about it – but sadly I didn’t!  Now that I know about it and had such a great time, it definitely won’t be the last time that I attend a session.

I tried to keep up with the painting instructor but was taking time away to video and take pictures that several of the instructors had to assist in keeping me on track, “thank you Christian”.  I did however, do a pretty good job and that was with only 3 beers and 1 glass of Moscato! 

Check out my Instagram page for more pics and I’ll upload a mini video to my YouTube channel this weekend.

Our themed painting was “Eternal Daze” and it was amazing to see the variations of each finished painting.  The wine, music and dancing definitely brings out the creativity in all of us!!

They will travel to off-site locations for church groups, senior centers and homecoming affairs.  Gift Cards are also available so it would be a perfect stocking stuffer, graduation or birthday gift.
