Every third Sunday of the month, Ta-coumba Aiken and Lisa Mathieson host Drawing Circle at The Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar in Lowertown Saint Paul. I have zero drawing talent, but the group is open and welcoming to anyone. I worked on photoshopping images, the gentleman next to me wrote poetry, and the rest of our community table drew. There were sparks of inspiration and good conversation with a side of coffee.
