It was a pleasant surprise to see a few of my former Gage students at this morning's outing. Tons of detailed "still-lifes" inside the shop to choose from. I think I'll go back when there aren't quite so many tourists and do more like this.
A former student from my first year of teaching in 1998 invited me to draw the roaster at Caffe Appassionatto Magnolia. A bit of a challenge to draw through the highly reflective glass, and I'm sure I've misconnected some piping to the wrong ducts, but it was a nice relaxing hour with an equally nice latte, on the house. Thanks, Maitland!
