It’s a cool afternoon as the weather transitions from dormant winter into the warmth of spring. You’re sitting outside on the patio. In your left hand is a glass of red wine from a place you’ve never heard of. You’re not sure if the notes of cherry and oak pair well with the warm brie on the table. In your right hand is a paint brush. No matter your level of talent, your confidence is increasing. Maybe it’s the crackers and hot pepper bacon jam getting your spirits up – or maybe it’s the wine – but at this point, none that matters. The canvas waits for your inspiration. It sounds like the perfect day of a long vacation, but in San Marcos, it can also be called Sunday. The Patio Painting Party, hosted by Paint Parties with Liz, will be at Patio Dolcetto from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The painting class costs $35 to attend and Patio Dolcetto has plenty of wine and food options for those looking for an extra twist. They ask that you show up 15 minutes early.
