A perfect end to the birthday weekend. Bloglesss Marsha, D, C and I considered going to one of those bars where, for a flat rate, you get all the supplies necessary to paint a picture with added inspiration provided by good wine and food. Wait! said C. We have wine, we have food, we have painting supplies, why pay $55 each to paint a picture? And we don't have to worry about driving home. Birthday flowers provided the subject matter and three inexperienced acrylic painters went to work. What fun:
We each had our own style:
It was the best birthday ever, summed up so eloquently by the gypsy swing violinist. Yes a gypsy swing violinist, friend of the boy's, the talented Michael Fraser, who played just for me and said " I want to have a birthday party just like this when I'm midddle-aged."
A not so in focus Michael and Bryant jamming - it was hard to shoot an ever-moving target:
It never felt so go to be middle-aged, as well into it that I am. Thank you C and B, and all my friends who helped celebrate.
What an awesome birthday party idea with the painting ! Now if only I knew how to paint :( Looks like fun was had by all !

Happy birthday! That is a great idea for a party, and with a gypsy violinist, no less. I love each person's take on the flowers.

What a lovely party. Happy Birthday! I still consider myself middle aged, which means I'll live until I'm 126.
