Philip, Farah, James and Ina (L-R) with James’s wonderful painting (Three Trees) in the middle.
Painted by one heart, bought by another …..
When Farrah popped into her local cafe at Barking station – Ezo Bistro – she can’t help but fell in love with one of the paintings on display. After coming back to view it a few more times while enjoying her cup of latte, she decided to take the plunge and emailed us. The painting in question was by James Gray – a very popular & talented artist loved by many of Cafe Art supporters.

The meeting of heARTS, mind and soul at Ezo Bistro. Thank you, Farah and Phil for your big-heartedness …
Friday the 28th October is the day I got to meet James – the wonderful artist behind ‘Three Trees’ the painting. I have been coming to Ezo Bistro for a number of years now where James’s painting hung.
I have also admired the painting and enjoyed looking at it every time I sat with my coffee. I also knew I wanted to purchase it – so when the opportunity arose and I emailed the Cafe Art team I was thrilled to learn I could meet the artist too.
It was a huge privilege to meet with James (and Cafe Art). The meeting felt more than just a purchase. To meet with James and discuss his art, inspiration and life made the whole experience even more special.
I thank all at Cafe Art for this wonderful opportunity and I will enjoy my painting for many years to come.
Farrah
