But chocolates for breakfast is another matter.

Pile of French candy boxes..EMPTY! Give cause for idle chatter - yum..yum..yum
*A special note for those concerned for my well being and think I'm capable of eating everything I shoot. The contents of these French chocolate boxes were left in a bag outside the door of the concierge as well as several other lucky recipients (the photography shop on rue Vavin and M.s' door). I can barely look a bonbon in the face these days...well almost.

  8. thanks for commenting on myblog. you offered to send me your chocolate box contens so that i could paint them.
    it would be torture if i had to paint them. i would never finish a drawing as i would always end up eating them.

    Lovely still life- I enjoy the dreamy, airy quality of your paintings, and of course, the subject matter is charming.
    I've never heard of chocolate twigs- but it shouldn't suprise me!
    Such amazing things culinary artists can do with food :) Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
