Moms and Money: Painting with a Splash

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - With each brush stroke, a group of amateur artists is one step closer to their own masterpiece.

“We are hosting painting with a splash, it’s just one of our many classes we have here at Wonders of Wildlife,” said Samantha Gerhart, the Public Relations Manager for the Johnny Morris Foundation.

Whether it’s life imitating art or art imitating life, the painters don’t have to look far for inspiration. The theme of the painting, a shark.

“At Painting with a Splash you get to paint different masterpieces of your own of different animals while you’re literally sitting in a three-story aquarium, surrounded by large Groupers and Eels,” said Gerhart. “You get to really be immersed in the surroundings while you’re learning a whole new skill of painting your own masterpiece. You get to also take that painting home with you so it’s like taking home a little bit of WoW
