Hot Wife and I are cultured. Like you didn't know already, right?
For those of you who are scratching your heads with the previous statement, don't let the southern drawl, burps, or the occasionally confused synonym trick you - the Duffey's are a cultured bunch. This weekend Hot Wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to have a date night with the Trolard's, but for identity protection, we'll call them Computer Guy and Lightroom Lady. "Lightroom" being a program she uses for postproduction in the portraiture business that she and Computer Guy own.
I digress... Anyway, Hot Wife, Lightroom Lady, Computer Guy, and myself went to Sip's N Strokes for our date night. For those not familliar, I recommend you visit the link herein, but Sip's N Strokes is a great concept where you drink wine, beer, Coke (whatever your poison) and paint a picture with the help of an instructor. We began the night with a nice cheese and fruit tray. Hot Wife did an awesome job picking out the cheeses! The spread was great and Computer Guy and I ate about a pound of grapes. Argh! Hot Wife, Lightroom Lady, and Computer Guy drank Menage a Trois (great wine, bad name) while thanks to hepatitis, I drank near beer. In summary, we had a blast. No, no, we had more than a blast! We had so much fun, it has no name.
Anyway, we painted, painted, and painted some more, and the final result was.
Drum Roll!
Yes, yes, you can comment and tell us that we should quit our day jobs and persue a carreer in art. Ha!!!
Furthermore, the Duffey's continued the weekend with more artful intentions. One of the perks of my latest photography class, is individual studio time in a "real" photographer's studio. Ooooo! We'll I picked the hottest subject I could find (Hot Wife) and asked her if she'd kindly join me. She did. She was a good trooper since no one that I know is truly confortable in front of a camera. And guess what, if you are just starting in portraiture, you, the photographer, are probably not comforatble behind the camera either. As you can imagine that could make for a train wreck.
Well my instructor, we'll call her Cool Curly Red Hair, helped a ton and the results are great so far. Here's a quick example of Hot Wife strutting her stuff.
One word... Awesome!
So, Duffey = Culture; no matter what we do or might do to negate it.
