From Baker to Brew

When a call to artists came out from our local Bellingham Alive magazine to describe our take on "community", my mind raced to the images that popped into my head.  As Whatcom County is notoriously home to a lot of beer and coffee snobs, I knew it had to contain those things.  There just wasn't room in the composition for bicycles, runners and so many other things that make Bellingham and Whatcom County so magical.

I'm not sure which foreign country is due the credit for the discovery of coffee, but I'm eternally grateful for their sharing of it with the world. It is truly a remarkable thing...and legal. I do partake of a good cup of tea from time to time, but coffee makes my world go round. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we seem to be famous for making coffee part of our culture. That works for me. Woods Coffee is a little coffee company that seems to be springing up all over our county and probably beyond. Their decor is so Pacific Northwest and their coffee is great.

This is a little watercolor painting of mine that I scanned and altered using a couple of Photoshop Elements filters.
