Painting for a Cure

Sips n Strokes - Toco Hills


Last night I had the opportunity to attend Breast Cancer Awareness Night at Sips n Strokes in Toco Hills, Atlanta.  Sips n Strokes is an art studio where they teach you to paint a particular painting. The instructor is on a stage and gives step by step instructions to create the painting.  Last night there were two paintings to choose from.  I chose the one to the right.  The event was actually a fundraiser for a fellow 3-Day walker.  $170 was raised for the Komen 3-Day for the Cure.  It was so much fun.  I will definantly go back and maybe do my own fundraiser there for the 2012 3-Day walk.  I was really worried about painting the zebra stripes, but I think they turned out great!
