[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Brad Paisley[/lastfm] is raising money for charity, but instead of using his musical talent he’s getting artistic.

On Monday night Brad held a fundraiser, La Fete du Cinema, for the Nashville Film Festival. Brad began the oil painting at home, but finished it during cocktail hour at the event. Really cocktail hour? My paintings would definitely get a little “abstract” if I painted during cocktail hour! In any event Brad raised $5,500 for his artwork. The event was co-hosted by Brad, his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley, and their good friends Tracie and Scott Hamilton. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rascal Flatts[/lastfm] member, Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus attended the event with their wives. Also in attendance for fundraiser was [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Band Perry[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bryan White[/lastfm] and his wife Erika, and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Craig Morgan[/lastfm] with his wife Karen.
