Marsha invited me to paint with her at Night Sky, a coffee house in Troy.  The ceiling is painted in a style reminiscent of Van Gogh's swirling night skies.  For coffee lovers, there is a wide variety of speciality coffees all ground on the site.  There are also delicious freshly made salads and soups.  And of course there are the generously sized mouth-watering desserts.  Marsha chose coffee and I chose their raspberry decaf tea. 
 Marsha often paints from a a photo on her iPad.  The photo of the day was of a Persian cat.  You can see the completed painting at either of the two sites where you can also buy reproductions of it. 
 Her blog sites are

I brought my plein air backpack but no photo or readied drawing so I elected to do a sketch of Marsha painting.
