I thought I’d clarify, this is the NEW Talent Cafe! (They call themselves the “Real” Talent Cafe). On August 31st, I posted an article called “Drawing Talent: Joe Dunbar Designs & Talent Cafe” . You see, the building depicted in the watercolor study was the old, original Talent Cafe. It was the Talent Cafe of my husband’s youth. Two paintings with tea cups, that makes a tea party doesn’t it? I collected my tea cup when I was living in Germany. Its made in there and its dishwasher safe, a bonus! Its kind of an odd choice of souvenir because I’m not a big tea drinker. But, I liked the cup and saucer. I’ve had it for about 20 years now; its family. Yesterday (day 7) my husband Robert and I went to nearby Ashland, OR on an errand. We thought it would be fun for me to do a watercolor study of something at Southern Oregon University (SOU). I chose “Churchill Hall” which we used to call the administration building.Talent Library Entrance: Day 11 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days
Remembering My First Library Visit
Libraries. Do you remember the first time you went to a library? I do. I don’t remember the book I checked out, but I do remember going.
Up until that magical day, libraries were grown up places and I was too young. Talent Cafe: Day 10 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days
