Art Exhibit At the Sweet Palette






We made it down to fourth Friday last week, and it was great. I had heard about a Rob Robbers art exhibit and wanted to check it out. It was really a fun evening. It was held in the gallery area of the cupcake shoppe on Person st. in the circle, The Sweet Palette. Really cool little shoppe, they had Tyler King playing acoustical guitar. the shoppe had a really great atmosphere and the music was great. We had just eaten and I was too full to have anything more than coffee which was really good (they get their coffee from my favourite coffee roaster Jaun at The Cumberland Coffee Rosters in Hope Mills.) Sharon did get one of their cheesecake bites. She said it was very good. Just the right size so as not to make you feel guilty for eating the whole slice of cheesecake.

So here are just some shots I made while there.



Yes, I did take most of these sitting at my table, I do plan to go back down there one evening before they take the show down and get some more. I will add them when I get them. the paintings were really cool. The artist had a real unique take on some famous people, like Edgar Allan Poe, Humphry Bogart, and Audrey Hepburn to name a few. Very interesting. I liked it. You should if you get a chance, go down and check the gallery out, and get a great cup of coffee.

Here are a couple of other shots made the same night.


Here is a few of shots my wife took:

My Office or at Least Where I Love to Work


This is Where I do most of my editing of photos and working on this blog. It is my favorite Coffee Shop in town. Cumberland Coffee Roasters here in Hope Mills. I like to work here because the coffee is great and they roast their own beans right here in the shop. The owner Juan and, my favorite Barista Karen are always so nice. They play Pandora and you never know what station will be playing, it just depends on their mood. One day you come in and you will hear Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Pasty Klien, then the next Seattle Grunge. It's great.


Sitting in a little strip mall right next to the Holiday Express.


Yeah, that's my foot, just relaxing and reading.



Juan even lets me display my work that is for sale here, he also get free decorations for the shop wall...=o)



This is where the magic happens, kind of my workstation. Great view of the front and a comforting hum of the Coke cooler behind me. Just a great places to come and get away from the furry kids.They can really be needy while I am trying to work. Well, that's it if you're in town come by and have a great cup of Joe.

Don't forget that you can buy my work online here at my Crated Store, Just in case you don't make it down to the coffee house.

Pretty Cool Cloudy Day


Driving about today I noticed that the sky was really pretty awesome. Then I happened past a water tower and old smoke stack, and well just got inspired.



After a few there I went to HopeMills and found another water tower and another wonderful sky.



Then I happened along this Streetlamp and the clouds and sun came together just right.


I got a few more developed from today.
