My lovely wife took me too Artjamz in Washington, D.C.
http://artjamzdc.com/ for our date night.

We had a lovely time painting and sipping on wine. She thought this would be a great way for me to get back into painting since I haven't physically painted in about 3 years. Much of that due to my busy schedule and the other part is due to my kids which only allows me to do one type of painting... Finger painting. That's not a bad thing, they are going to make great artist one day.
Still, I found it wasn't hard to get back into the groove. We had about an 1.5 hours to paint and this is what I came up with:
I called it "Loc'ed In Thought". It is an acrylic piece on. 12" x 16" . It felt good to do some serious painting for minute. Can't you tell?
My wife although she "claim" she is not very creative (eye roll), came up with this piece
It's the same size as mine, and acrylic. She employed the use of stencils to complete her painting, and I think it came out great!
