on Highland St. in Worcester, Massachusetts
where he treated me to breakfast of a Chai Latte and a flaky croissant. The bakery had lots of delicious pasty and breakfast sandwiches.
Steve also had an art show at the bakery. I had seen many of his pairings in various stages of layers, but got to see them all finished as we enjoyed our visit.
Just to warn you, the images here don't do Steve's paintings justice. The lighting in the bakery isn't conducive to photographing art work. Steve's paintings are magical with luminescence. They just glow and shift in the light.

A slim box with script writing on it. What could it be?
A beautiful, delicate, purple glass pen. Lucky me!

His paintings are fantastic. That's great that he has exhibitions for them. The glass pen he gave you is lovely. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteIt’s so cool that the local businesses encourage artists to show their work for patrons to enjoy
DeleteThat was a great outing to the coffee bar. Steve's art is great. And I love that purple glass pen, wow! It has cooled down today, so lovely to feel a cool breeze again and the temperatures in my apartment are dropping, too, so I'm happy about that. Have a happy T day and a good July, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI hope this comment goes through!
Yup, your comment made it through! I’m so happy your weather finally broke and temps are coming back down to normal
DeleteHopefully, Steve will drop by the blog and see your comment, too
What lovely treats and gifts CJ! Your friend is a wonderful artist and it would be great to be able to see these paintings in person. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteHis paintings are spectacular, it’s just too bad the lighting and my photography skills are so poor.
DeleteCan't wait to see what you do with your gift! :D
ReplyDelete😄 Me, too!
DeleteYour friend Steve makes beautiful paintings. Even in poor lighting, they are truly unique, unusual, and beautiful. His gift of the pen was quite thoughtful, as was his treating you to breakfast. Your chai latte looks good, as does the croissant. I'm delighted you shared your time with Steve and his paintings, along with your breakfast at The Bean Counter for T this Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteHe’s a talented and wonderful soul. I enjoy spending time with him.
DeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time! How lovely to visit the bakery and see your friend, his artwork looks magical 😀. I'm in love with your new purple glass pen - amazing! Wishing you a Happy T Day! Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe photos don’t do Steve’s paintings justice
DeleteHis work is beautiful. And how nice of him to get you a gift symbolic of your craft.

Steve is a thoughtful friend.
DeleteOh, no! I hope your computer 💻 is better soon. Or you get a new one ☺️
Your glass pen is beautiful! What a wonderful instrument for writing letters. That latte and croissant look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteSteve is a very talented artist. His paintings are so beautiful. I bet they do look so much better in real life.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Steve's paintings just shimmer. He has a way of capturing light in his paintings that make them glow depending on the angle you are view from. Just amazing.
DeleteYour latte and croissant look so good. The paintings are really amazing. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteAll three were amazing
DeleteThat coffee shop looks nice, and I enjoy places like that that show local art. I'm intimidated by galleries, but I relish low-key opportunities like this. I hope they sell well :) I like the style. Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteGalleries can be so pretentious.The coffee shop was warm and inviting. I hope Steve does well, too.
DeleteWords can't describe how utterly amazing these are.
ReplyDeleteSteve will be pleased to hear that.
DeleteYour friend certainly makes beautiful artwork, in spite of the bad lighting. How wonderful that a local business is willing to show case the works. I hope he sells well.
ReplyDeleteThe gifts is amazing! What a beautiful pen! I'd love to write with a pen like that. Pens will become rarer as people write less and less. Even now student have difficulty doing important written exam as they have to write for hours on end and they get pain and cramps and whotnot.
Happy (belated) T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
At the college where Himself teaches, most of the exams are given on-line. When they do write, they print because a lot of schools don't teach cursive writing anymore. Very sad.
DeleteSteve's art is fantastic! I know what you mean about the difficulty of photographing art on a wall. I think you did quite well. It would be nice to go there and see them in person. Lovely pen. I know you'll enjoy using or displaying it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eileen. I’m not sure the iPhone camera is the best camera for photographs
DeleteThat looks and sounds a very nice outing to the coffee bar.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing Steve's art, it looks good.
Enjoy using your pen.
All the best Jan
Will do.
DeleteLovely paintings and the colours are amazing. The artist is very talented.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift too, I used to love writing with my ink pen at school.
I do love a croissant for breakfast with jam, not easy to eat in public sometimes When when they are fresh!
Happy t day

I just had the croissant plain as it was so soft and buttery, it didn't need anything else.
Deletei love looking at art shows. I'm hoping to go to one today if they are having one in REdlands. Usually over a holiday weekend they hold them in a local park.
ReplyDeleteI hope you share the art show if you’re able
DeleteHis paintings are amazing CJ! Wish I lived closer to see them! Can't wait to see what you do with your gift! Big Hugs!
