Though I'm not taking back any of what I said the first time, I figured an update was due since I…read morewent to my second class. It probably took me 10 minutes of walking around to find the studio. Only after stopping a girl that was walking back to her car and asking, was I able to find it. The storefront is all window. Which is why I don't understand why they don't take artistic liberties and paint the windows (with something non-permanent) so passers-by can easily tell what the building's business is. After ordering a glass of wine, (at least they have some $5 glasses) and sitting near the front, I noticed that the painting at the front of the room was not the painting that I thought I would be doing. I brought my concern to the artist , and she informed me, after checking the calendar, that the painting I went for was actually on Tuesday. My bad. BUT! Chloe was awesome and got me some green and let me go at it making the painting I wanted, rather than following the class. Halfway through she found a copy of the painting and brought it over so I could look at it rather than at my dying phone (which was grainy because of the size of the picture anyways). In the end I was pretty happy with the painting though it wasn't exactly like the example - it's not supposed to be, right? The staff was a lot nicer this time around, but considering my overall experience and the price, I'm sticking with my 2*s

They have a small bar but you can get anything from mixed drinks to a bottle of wine. They give you the colors you need (or would like to use) and walk you through the paintings.

Of course, I found SEVERAL things I "need" - including a bundle of fine point brush tip markers from Le Pen (yes, I had to get every color), checklist sticky notes, washi tape, a really cool mini-planner, and wayyyy more. And honestly, I could have bought way more. They had notebooks in every size, shape, and color; all things fountain pens; greeting cards galore; several wall calendars; local postcards...omg, let's face it, I could have blown my entire Christmas budget if I really wanted to! My only regret is that I don't live locally so I can't partake in their pen of the month club or attend one of their super cool classes. If I had the time and energy to open a Chirps & Cheers 2 around these parts, I totally would!

If I ever have $60,000 to blow (a pipe dream at the moment; having excessive amounts of money to…read morespend frivolously) and for whatever reason, I still happen to be living in OKC when I have this imaginary boatload of money, I will come to JRB and buy a naked woman statue. Because nothing says artsy like naked women statues. Done tastefully of course... I'm sort of joking about all of that, except the price tag. There really is a sculpture in there for $60,000. Actually, I'm not even sure if you can buy that. The musicians (i.e. the pianist and flautist) at JRB are for the lack of a better word, amazing. I think I spent more time listening to them than looking at the exhibition pieces. Most people probably came for the free champagne and hor d'oeuvres while pretending they cared about art that costs more than their cars (more than my car, anyway); there were a lot of college-age people who probably have even less money to spend than I do. I'm totally judging a book by its cover. The level of ostentation can be stifling, even off-putting if you're not used to being around overly pretentious people who think themselves to be culturally enlightened. As an Indian I've dealt with a fair share of my own people who think they're a bigger deal than they are, but even I reached my limit at the 40 minute mark. If I rolled my eyes anymore than I already was at some of the nonsense spewing from the mouths of the wannabe art critics present, it would have looked like I was having a seizure. Art is an odd thing to me; I don't get most of it, and in my humble opinion, a good deal of "contemporary" art is self-indulgent garbage. What I do like, I couldn't begin to describe to you on why I like it. Don't talk to me about feelings. I had someone ask me yesternight, "Why do you like that Van dyke brown print specifically?" Shut up, that's why I like it. But he wasn't willing to let it go, and he coaxed the answer out of me. Something about an urban element contrasting the traditional setting, and the emotions felt by the... something, something. It was $550. I would actually pay that. I'm not rolling in money yet, so I'm not in impulse buy mode, but I know where to go when I want to decorate my house. I doubt my favorite piece will still be there because a lot of people seemed to gravitate toward that one. C'est la vie. I need to finish this review before I start throwing anymore French around.

Rather than a bunch of stuff, some of which is not great, you get a smaller selection of really modernist home decor, well-designed speakers, candles and candlesticks, art books, floating shelves, and more. The chalkboard candles she has right now are some of the best I've ever smelled. I know you have some friends you absolutely never know how to buy for... because I know I do. This is the place to come - because you'll probably like just about everything in here. Plus, the clever use of a small space is worth seeing and supporting. I'm pretty sure she was the first to launch the shipping container trend in OKC, which can now be seen at Oklahoma Contemporary and Deep Deuce.
