Remember when I said there was absolutely no freaking way I could paint a portrait of Chip? Yeah... about that. If you haven't heard ... 𝗜 𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗚. 𝗜𝗡 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗬. 🐶🎨 Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I could take a photograph of Chip, sit down with a blank canvas, and come home at the end of the day with THIS. But @Michelle Cyr somehow made it happen! My daughter and I spent the day painting with her, laughing, learning, eating snacks, and being completely spoiled with an amazing Mediterranean bowl lunch. It wasn't just a painting class. It was an entire mother-daughter experience, and we had SO much fun! And Michelle? Simply freaking amazing! She's patient, encouraging, 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙮 𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡, and somehow knows exactly how to help you fix the thing you're staring at thinking, "Welp. I just ruined it." 😂 Meanwhile, my daughter painted her favorite roo, Howdini, and she's now impatiently waiting for him to fully dry so she can get him up in her room where he belongs. 🐓❤️ I genuinely cannot get over what we were able to create in ONE DAY. So I'm going to say this very loudly for anyone who has been watching Michelle and thinking, "Yeah, but I could never paint something like that..." ... 𝘂𝗺𝗺 𝗬𝗘𝗦. 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗡! If you can swing an IRL painting day with Michelle, DO IT. She's still in Wisconsin for a little longer this summer, and then she'll be heading back south to Texas. And if you can't make an IRL happen? Get your butt on her live calls inside 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀. You will walk in thinking, "There is no freaking way I'm going to be able to paint this," and walk out several hours later carrying a portrait of your dog. Or a whatever you decide to paint! Who knew?! 😂 10/10 experience. Would absolutely let Michelle convince me I can paint again. ❤️🎨
