Hello, Everyone,

Painting with Rita is no longer offering public “Paint & Sip” or “Wine & Paint” events at public venues.  We are, however, available for private events on a first come, first served basis, and with a minimum of 2 weeks notice.

You may have noticed that we had to cancel many of our events in late 2017, early 2018, due to lack of registrations.  And the events that we did have, were, for the most part, very small (up until we announced our closing).  As much as we enjoyed painting with all of you, it was just no longer financially feasible to keep our public events business up and running.

We want you to know how very grateful we are to all of you – especially our frequent painters – for joining us so regularly and inviting all your friends.  We had such a wonderful time getting to know you, sharing with you the joyful and meditative experience that painting can be, and watching your creativity blossom.

This Painting with Rita website and the Painting with Rita Facebook page will now be dedicated to displaying Rita’s most recent painting projects and artwork.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you are interested in a private event or in purchasing any of Rita’s art.

As a Certified Ross Floral Instructor® (aka CRFI®) Rita is still available to teach private and semi-private Bob Ross® Style Floral classes – by appointment only.  Please contact me if you’re interested in scheduling a class. (® = All Registered Trademarks of Bob Ross Inc.)

Mark & Rita send you our best regards, and as always, we encourage you to keep painting and
