Arting Around With a Cuppa

In Louisville, Colorado, Barbara McKee provides surprising entertainment for coffee-shop patrons.

The Routine

Barbara walks to Vic’s Espresso 3-4 times a week for morning coffee. Then she returns 3-4 more times to paint.

Barbara loves getting out of the house and connecting with people. She admits she’s naturally shy, so she was a little self-conscious at first. Painting at coffee shops challenges Barbara to be more out front as an artist.
Sometimes Don, Barbara’s husband, accompanies her. He’s a sculptor and works on small 3-D pieces while sipping Joe.

It’s become such a habit that the first thing Barbara and Don do on vacation is seek out a coffee shop for their art sessions.
