Wine & Watercolors™ — at wineries and wine bars

Brews & Brushes™ — at micro breweries and tap houses

Blues & Brushes™ — at outdoor blues festivals around the Northwest

Hello Painters! Like a Pampered Painter Party™, but held in a public location such a Winery or Brewery. These events are fun, non-serious art-as-entertainment experiences with watercolors and—um—wine, craft-brewed beer, or great blues music! No experience needed and all art supplies provided. Sipping allowed and laughter encouraged. Great for birthdays and other special occasions, or you might just meet make a new friend. The first beverage is typically on the house and often some yummy snacks as well. “Thank you Chris, it was super fun! You made us all artists!!” Click here for the current schedule of public painting parties. Hello Hosting Locations! Are you a Winery, Brewery, or other location interested in hosting painting parties? Wonderful! These events are a great way to get new customers in your door and the attendees rave about their experiences at these events.

Like my art, or looking for a special gift, and not seeing that perfect fit?

Let’s collaborate to create a one-of-a-kind piece as a gift…or for you!

Consider giving the gift of art. A special memory like a pet, first car, favorite flower, a vacation are all great ideas for commissioning a piece of artwork. Together we can create something completely unique for that special someone…or for you! Initial consultations are free even if I determine that another artist’s work fits your needs. We’ll chat so I understand your specific needs, your budget, and your preferences. That said, any piece of work will still reflect my style. Your commissioned original comes with an acid-free backing board which can be used when framing. The whole kit and caboodle will be in a clear, acid free re-sealable bag. And, of course, it’s signed by moi. 🙂 To start the commission process, I ask for a deposit which secures your place on my wait list (yes, I have a wait list). The remainder is due upon completion of the piece. Price depend on a lot of factors, and will vary up or down, but this will give you ballpark idea of cost.

See examples and testimonials from happy clients. Contact me to get your commission started today.

And, of course, it’s signed by moi. 🙂 Treat yourself to some yummy eye candy and visit the Originals Gallery.
