# [SpecialEyes Had Me at "With a Twist"](https://blog.specialeyesqc.com/specialeyes-had-me-at-with-a-twist)

When you think of great painters, who come to mind? Leonard da Vinci? Vincent Van Gogh? Michelangelo perhaps? Personally, I think of Tom Sawyer! So, when SpecialEyes suggested we get in touch with our artistic side, I knew I was in trouble. [Painting with a Twist](https://www.paintingwithatwist.com/sarasota/) is a franchise whose concept pairs instructional art with friends, wine, and a lively instructor to assist a “Tom Sawyer” in producing a Van Gogh like masterpiece!  Armed with our favorite beverages (which ranged from Diet Coke to wines and whiskeys) and Chick-Fil-A as the chaser, we were ready to paint!  WARNING! The evidence below may be alarming and not suitable for the weak stomach, as our artwork may only be appreciated through “SpecialEyes”.
