Keep up with the latest art and adventures from Rene Shoemaker Art!

Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France

This café was near the Spanish border in France. The spot was a welcome place where the clientele seemed local. It was a hotel with a large dining room beyond the double doors - we sat in the bar area and watched the staff hustle between the outdoor seating area, and the dining room beyond us. The Pyrénées Mountains were all around us, and the air was crisp.

Art reception Sunday Dec 8, 3-5 pm. Exhibit on display for the month of December. Hendershots Coffee, Athens, Ga.

This is Amy’s favorite print - Which is yours? In Athens, Ga you can now see this series at Jittery Joe’s downtown location. This scene is from the French Pyrenees, very close to Spain. You can see the Spanish influence in the tile work on wall beneath the bar. The cup and saucer were black with gold rims! I loved the white interior of the cup, with the green inlay on the exterior. Très chic!

Coffee experiences. Lovely. Just wanted to share some of the varied shapes and servings and ambiances that make what we might call a ‘coffee break’. It’s my favorite time of the day - how about you?
