Such a blast! I can't wait to come back and get all Picaso or van Gogh or whoever was more intoxicated, all over that little canvas.
Throughout the years I've been compelled to express myself artistically in several ways. Throughout the years I've been compelled to treat myself (or mainline, whatev..) several varietals of wine. Writing and painting are two things I thoroughly enjoy doing under the influence. There is now a place I can indulge at least two of these loves... Enter: The Brush Bar
The space is bright and unique and encourages creativity. There are a lot of hand crafted items for sale around the shop. One of the coolest things I've seen in awhile are the shelves in the retail area.....so quirk and interesting. Built by one of the employees fathers from a birch-y looking white wood and wine bottles, they were begging to come home with me . I don't think they were for sale but still... beautiful.
The employees were welcoming, helpful and adorable; I mean seriously, I haven't seen that many cute girls in one place in forever. If I were a single guy I'd totally go one weekend with an equally single buddy or two to see what kind of trouble I could get into.
The painting part is pretty self explanatory. It's fun to get up, walk around and take a look at what everyone is doing about 3/4 of the way through. There's so much room for interpretation and the drastic differences and even sometimes subtle ones are very telling. We left inspired (and buzzed) and headed out for a nice afternoon of lunching. It was a bit pricey but this isn't something you're going to be doing once a week so no big deal. Go...go now.
