A sweetest friend had the genius idea of munching on tapas, sipping wine, and painting with acrylics to commemorate her birthday last week. Venice’s Abbot Kinney was the surefire spot to carry out such bohemian shenanigans, particularly at this swanky wine bistro. Most of us had never painted before, so it was a ball to receive a bona fide art lesson amongst such lovely aesthetics. Happiest of belated birthdays, dear Shaina! I love you so!
