Coffee Shop

I really should come here more often. It's cosy and friendly and having people around me while I work is far more inspiring than sitting at my kitchen table. From my seat I can see a couple of men at a table discussing the affairs of the day, a couple of women in athletic gear talking about their kids and my husband sitting at another table working on something and listening to NPR on his headphones. Ah the joys of coffee and technology all rolled into one! I'm waiting for my friends to join me for coffee and catch-up time but I don't think I'll have enough time to finish this blog entry before they get here.

Well I'm home again after a three-hour coffee marathon. It was good. I will go there again to blog though because all my kitchen makes me think of is mice and madness! I've been enjoying the Urban Sketchers blog and it's kind of sort of inspiring me to take up sketching and painting again. I keep thinking big because I'm still looking for that one perfect big striking painting to hang on my wall, although Big isn't always Practical and I'm not sure my talents are sufficient.

I like the paintings and sketches that capture the essence and feel of being in a cosy coffee shop. There's something about them that makes me feel warm and comfortable inside. I dont know - the palette of colours associated with coffee and muffins is comforting I think. Or maybe it's the actual coffee and muffins!

Oh well - the day moves on and so must I.
