Skaneateles Bakery Morning Sketch

A calm morning and an interlude after dropping off my oldest boy at preschool, I stopped by to see how the exhibit was holding up at Skaneateles Bakery. Not too crowded and wanting to generate a postcard for a recently re-acquainted friend from school, I took the opportunity to do some morning "exercises".

In Memory.

This sketch was done this day 11 years ago while living in Washington DC.

Riding my bike into work I saw the black column of smoke rising over the Pentagon, riding home...it remained, dark and still rising. Work was meaningless that day as the news of the attack stumbled in.

That evening...in an act of grieving...came this sketch...

in memory.

Cafe Impressions : on exhibit

Skaneateles Bakery + Cafe has been one of my and my wife's favorite little cafe ever since we got married. For awhile we have watched art work go up and down from their walls and just recently the owners, Katie and Chris, invited me to display some of my work. I decided to go with a small show of cafe postcards, appropriate for the venue, with 9 cards being specific to Skaneateles bakery or skaneateles the town. (displayed on the right as you enter) We even made bakery post cards for customers to purchase and post!
