The ‘Care For A Cuppa’ Show & Sale is now halfway through its run at City Perks Coffeehouse here in Saskatoon (801 7th Ave N). The exhibition continues until the end of November.
Several of you who are ‘from away’, or who may not be feeling that comfortable dropping in to a coffee house these days, have asked if it would be possible for me to share the show virtually so you can enjoy it, too. The answer to that questions is yes. I’m delighted to do just that.
Today I’ve uploaded the video you see here. This video walk-through of the show is just under two minutes in length and lets you see how the paintings are grouped and presented.
A couple of weeks ago I uploaded a virtual gallery of the 22 paintings with a description of the backstory for each piece along with size and pricing information. This link will allow you to browse the gallery.
I’d love to hear your reactions to the collection.
Do keep in mind that these pieces are available for purchase (at least those not yet claimed). Might be an idea to drop a hint about your favorite to someone who is thinking of a Christmas gift for you!
To inquire about purchase, simply email me at pat@patkatzart.com or text me at 306-221-8663.
Now, grab your own cuppa, sit back, and enjoy the show.

The Cafe Series II Virtual Show and Sale is underway. If you haven’t already checked it out, this link will take you to the previous post featuring full show details including images, backstories, and how to go about making one or more of these paintings your own.
Just for fun, I pulled out images of the cups and mugs that are featured in the show, and turned them into a 45 second video. You’ll see it posted above. Hope you enjoy it.
Also, because the theme of the Cafe Series centers around enjoying a cuppa, I searched out some popular tunes featuring tea and coffee. Thought you might enjoy them, too.
This link will take you to a Cuppa Playlist on Spotify. Play those tunes while you enjoy your morning, afternoon or evening cuppa. I’ll be thinking about you and singing along!
Welcome To Cafe Series Virtual Art Show & Sale – Part II

Welcome to my Virtual Café Series Art Show & Sale – Part II.
The Café Series of images celebrates those moments of connection spent savoring a cup of tea or coffee – perhaps with a sweet treat, a pen and journal, or something of beauty for company.
Sometimes we’re solo – connecting with ourselves and reflecting on our thoughts. Other times (pandemic aside) we’re enjoying the company of others. Both ways count as life’s sweet pleasures.
May these paintings trigger sweet memories of connection in your world.
My plan was to introduce this second set of paintings in the Café Series at our 2021 Artists’ Workshop Spring Show. However, with the pandemic cancellation of our show for the second year in a row, that was not possible. Instead, I’m presenting this limited set of all new images this weekend in the form of another virtual online gallery. Here’s what you need to know.
Each of the nine images was painted with watercolor on a stretched 10 x 10 canvas. They’ve been sealed with a spray varnish so there’s no need to protect them under glass. They are fitted with hanging wire and ready to mount on your wall – no framing required.
Each painting is priced at $300 (all taxes and distanced doorstep delivery within Saskatoon included). For buyers beyond the city, additional shipping will be billed at cost.
The images are officially available for purchase from now (April 29) through the weekend until the end of day, Sunday, May 2. To request a painting, contact me in one of two ways including your full name, address, phone number, preferred form of payment and your first and/or second choice of painting:
- Via email at pat@patkatzart.com
- Or via phone at 306 934 1807
Offers to purchase will be accepted in the order in which they are received. Payment can be made by e-transfer or credit card.
Saskatoon deliveries will take place during the week of May 3rd. At this point, I’m planning to do a round of deliveries on the evening of May 5, but am entirely flexible about other dates and times.
Read on to see a larger image of each painting, a short description, and its number in the series. In the 3×3 grid above, the paintings are numbered in order from left to right, top to bottom. (As in #1 is top left and #9 is bottom right)
I hope you enjoy exploring the Café Series, and that these paintings will find their new forever homes. Perhaps one will come to live with you.

The upcoming first weekend in May was scheduled to have been our Artists’ Workshop 2021 Spring Show & Sale. However, given the ongoing pandemic situation our show has been cancelled for the second year in a row. And rightly so.
Still, it’s disappointing not to be able to share the work created over these last few months.
In the absence of our group spring show, I have decided to once again mount an online solo event. As with last year’s offering, I will be presenting nine all new paintings in the Café Series and inviting you to make them yours.
Watch for snippets of images to be shared over the next few days. The full set of images and complete details will be shared Thursday evening (via FB, IG, LI, and the Pauseworks Studio blog).
The Cafe Series II event will run through the weekend from Friday, April 30 through Sunday, May 2.
I’ll be happy to make distanced doorstep deliveries here in Saskatoon in plenty of time for Mother’s Day! For purchases outside Saskatoon, paintings will be shipped via Canada Post.
Stay tuned!

Welcome to my online Café Series Art Show & Sale. Over the last few months, I’ve created a series of paintings that reflects the joy of relaxing with a coffee or tea at hand – sometimes with a sweet treat, other times with a pen and journal, and often with a blossom or two. The images celebrate experiences of connection, conversation, and reflection.
All of the images were painted with watercolor and ink on stretched 10 x 10 canvas. They’ve been sealed with a spray varnish so there’s no need to protect them under glass. They are fitted with hanging wire and ready to go on your wall.
The plan was to introduce this series at our Artists’ Workshop Spring Show. However with the cancellation of our show due to the Covid 19 situation, that was not possible. Instead, I’m presenting this limited set of nine original images in the form of a virtual gallery.
Each painting is priced at $300 (including all taxes and distanced doorstep delivery within Saskatoon). For buyers beyond the city, additional shipping will be billed at cost.
The images are officially available for purchase as of now until noon on Saturday, May 9.

This first weekend in May would have been our Artists’ Workshop 2020 Spring Show & Sale. However, given the Covid situation, it was cancelled – as have been so many events around the world.
I find myself sad about this because I was especially looking forward to sharing pieces from the Café Series that I worked so hard to create over the last few months.
Rather than sit with the sadness, I’ve decided to experiment with the hosting of a Mini Online Solo Art Event that will let me share nine of my cafe series paintings with you and allow you to make them yours.
The online show images will be profiled on Wednesday, May 6 (via FB, IG, my blogs and ezine) along with details on how to take part in the online sale which is scheduled for Saturday, May 9 from noon to 3 pm.
I’ll gladly do distanced doorstep deliveries here in Saskatoon just in time for Mother’s Day!
Watch your email Wednesday for complete details.
