There is a wonderful place in town. It's family owned and aptly named My Favorite Cafe. The place swims with ambiance from it's exposed brick walls to the gleam of the 19th century floor boards. I am always welcomed by one of Laura's smiles and Brian asking if I want "... the usual?" The aromas are amazing with scones baking and panini toasting on the grill. I refer to it as "the office". Since my studio is attached to my home there are times I need to find another four walls to be in. Over the years I've done several sketches there while swilling my expertly made lattes. This mixed media sketch was one done of the refrigerated show cases and their gooey wonderful contents. Talk about eye candy!
