My brain has been misfiring for a couple of days due to (I think) illness. Might have picked up a bug at the latest Repair Cafe I volunteered at last Saturday. Not looking for sympathy; it's not particularly bad as far as viruses go.

But my misfiring brain has spat out a couple of ideas. One was: "Solder & Sip", for people who are more technical than artistic and who aren't into the Paint & Sip thing. Socializing with fellow appreciators of tech stuff, good - not sure about the combination of alcohol and hot soldering irons, though.

It wouldn't have to be actual soldering. Maybe you want to do robotics or wrenching or something.

Brain out.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 9: "Sunrise Meadow"

San Francisco has an amazing campground for families to camp in the summer, Camp Mather, located right outside of Yosemite. City kids get to roam free, and there's a "paint & sip" night for adults.

The paint brushes are a mess, but the fun is in hanging out and relaxing with other adults while our kids are off playing.

My painting is based on a photograph I took of a nearby field named "Sunrise Meadow."

Day 8: San Francisco has an amazing campground for families to camp in the summer, Camp Mather, located right outside of Yosemite. City kids get to roam free, and one of my favorite things: there's a wine and paint night for adults.

I was rather pleased with the painting I made this year, which was inspired by a photograph I had taken in the campground the previous year.

Went to a #PaintandSip and was told " #paint what's in your heart". Ended up free-handing this beauty 🎨🖌

How does it compare to the original?

Here’s the #painting I’ll be teaching at a charity #paintandsip this week! It’s my first one and I’m so excited and nervous and hope it goes well!
