This week in the Café, we’d have asked our guests if they’d like to check in, but remembered that they’d always been here.

Or at least their art has been hanging on the wall. Another precedent is broken as we focus on the visual arts.

Marion Speake, in addition to working in the Café, primarily paints abstract still-life in vibrant colored acrylic or charcoal drawing.

Maria Rachiele is the creative behind Doodle Dog Studio specializing in life-size and realistic paintings of dogs and other commissioned works featuring pets of the client.

See Maria’s work at www.LiveFreeArtStudio.com or Marion’s work at www.DoodleDogStudio.com, and make sure to peruse their art on the wall next time you visit Maestro’s Café.
