Last Friday, Sam Flores was in briefly in Denver. In January Sam will be working a permanent installment at D.I.A. This time Sam was painting in front of a live audience at the Denver Art Museum. Lucky? Yep!
You could put suggestions of things for Sam to paint into a jar.
He painted a collage based on what was pulled.
Hey, who put that bee in there? LOL, I couldn't resist!
There's Joseph!
What a cool experience!
The next day was the grand opening of Art Bar. What's Art Bar? Well..., Ryan Casey was lucky enough to buy a house complete with a garage converted into a bar, orange velvet & all. He painted one of the walls white and invited guests over to paint.
Art + Bar = Art Bar!
I told Dave "This feels like last night, watching Sam Flores, only we are pretty much amateurs".
Maybe we should practice?
Can you tell who this is?
Even Lex painted!
The wall quickly took form.

Ed's "Marvin the Martian"
El Ocho Scratcho Loco was a hit!
Supplies...
Here's Josh creating a sweet flower
This is the part where Art Bar got a little crazy.
I was lucky enough to snap so many good ones.
Josh lost his charcoal under the bar, so he stuck his had down to fish it out.
Yuck! 30 year old taffy!
It seemed as though the wall was getting pretty full.
And then someone broke out paint markers.
It was really fun making a mess with our friends.
To top the night off, we gave some buddies a ride home in the back of Jake's truck.
Art Bar 2011 Rules!!!
