Our Birthday Party Was A Blast!


To celebrate our first year in business we threw our Heart 2 Heart painting party on February 15th. February is Heart Month, and we wanted to find a way to support this great cause while sharing some fun! About 25 guests enjoyed the delicious catering of Katherine from Zoe's Cafe, our neighbour in the bay. Fortified with nibblies, they then took turns painting on the three canvases we had set up in the studio.


Neighbour Lara from Spinning Ninny was there to share the fun


And we couldn't have done it without Katherine from Zoe's with her delectable goodies.
Many of our guests welcomed our suggestion to dress up tres French, like Lisa Winfrey Read.
 Ooh la la!


  With the tunes cranked, the laughter and creativity flowed. Everyone got into the spirit and put their own unique marks on the canvases.













 Carol Anne Shaw never misses an opportunity to photo bomb!






We ended up at the end of the night with these three paintings:

 The "bird painting" ended the night like this:

And now looks like this:


The Big Red Circle painting ended the night looking like this:

 And currently looks like this:

The final painting, The Drippy One, ended the evening looking like this, and it still does:


We will keep you posted with our progress on the paintings. As soon as all three are completed we will be auctioning them off to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation. If you are interested in other ways to help support this great cause go here: 


 From Pipi and me, with all of our hearts, a huge thank you to our friends, fellow artists, neighbours, family, and community for your overwhelming support in our first year in business.
