Modern (?) Art – On the Road with Don and Paula

So, Leonardo Da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Andrew Wyeth, and Henri Matisse walked into a bar in Fort Myers, Florida

Well, not actually a bar, more like a café.

Hmm…not really a café, kind of like a storefront.

Inside they sat down, and the proprietor hands them all two paint brushes, a cup of water, and a small palette of acrylic paints in a few primary colors.

“I wish to work with oils!” yelled Da Vinci, getting up he stormed out.

“And I prefer watercolors!” screamed van Gogh scratching his ear.

“Oui! And I vill only verk vith ze gouache!” howled Matisse not wanting to be outdone by his comrades.

Andrew, quite taken aback by his companion’s behavior shrugged his shoulders and simply said, “I would prefer tempera, but this looks like fun, unfortunately I’m the Designated Driver so I need to follow those three.” And out the door he went.

The proprietor dejectedly went about her duties, preparing to clean up the places vacated by the previous four when the little bell on the door jingled, signaling the appearance of some new prospects.

The Leader of the new arrivals said with a smile, “Hi, I’m Sherry, we’re here for our Sip’n Paint session!”

With that, the Proprietor (Ari) visibly brightened and said, “I’ve got your four places reserved here for you! We’ve had some famous folks here as of late, hopefully you will feel their inspiration as you work tonight.”

Looking down at the four palettes of paints in front of them, the “just arrived” jubilantly exclaimed in unison, “Acrylics! We love Acrylics!

**Harold, Sherry, and Paula ready to impart their *Techniques de Arte* on their blank canvases.**

And so, the Nuvo Artistès went about creating wonderful Masterpieces whilst sipping some Grape Elixir….. no ‘Two-Buck Chuck’ here, it was the ‘Plenty-Twenty Spiritus Frumenti’ for us!
