Description

He never read much. TV sports was more to his liking. Football, baseball, basketball, golf; you know.... "manly" stuff.

His wife was the "Bookworm", a term of endearment that he teased her with for most of the 48 years of their married life. She was a voracious reader finishing sometimes two or more books in a week. She was also a regular at the local bookstore/cafe and he often accompanied her but he either read sports magazines or kept up with the sport scores on his Ipad. The novels she read didn't interest him.

When she died unexpectedly he was devastated. For weeks he lived in a haze; a non-world in which he wasn't certain he would be able to go on much longer without the woman who had shared his bed, his life, his entire world for over four decades. Then one day he found himself standing in front of the bookstore/cafe she so loved going to.

He went inside, ordered a latte the exact way she liked it and then found one of the books by one of her favorite authors. Sitting at "their" table he took a sip of his drink. It was as if she was sitting across from him again. With the slightest smile he turned to chapter one.
"Good Read and a Drink", is a digital painting Bill Tomsa created on his
Ipad on an ArtRage 4 app. He painted it at a book store cafe when, he says,
"I just couldn't resist setting down the magazine I was reading and just had to capture how intensely this guy was wrapped up in his own reading".
