Picture Yourself in Paris

Givenchy, Paris, original watercolor, 9" x 11"

Boutique Champagne, original watercolor, 9" x 11"

If a girl wants to think about Paris every once in a while there's absolutely nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

Bonbons, original watercolor, 9" x 11"

Picture yourself in Paris at a bonbon boutique? Buying Champagne on rue St.-Sulpice? Walzing by YSL after some shopping..? It's now possible with a little help from my paintbox.

I need 4-5 CLEAR photos emailed from you.

*Note SOME FEET are included in the photos. Very important!!

I can not paint you without FEET PLEASE! s.v.p.

Your favorite bag can be included in the painting.

And une sac de Pierre Herme too.

You'll get a portrait sketch to approve before I go to the finished artwork.

Picture yourself like Judi in Australia.

*We are not talking about a John Singer Sargent exact likeness here. It's joie de vie we're after.

  9. (There is a difference between thinking and doing.... !)

    I believe you are doing the total of all that you like of Paris here! However nice it is, I believe you must force yourselve to some less chic quartiers next time, just to let us see how you treat them in words and paintings!

  10. Love all the paintings, but 28 Boulangerie 28 is my favorite!

    Should you ever get tired of Paris,
    you'll always have Vienne! :-)

    Have a great week!

  11. Oh, those ubiquitous Vanessa Bruno totes! Even I was enticed (out of character) to buy one of those when I lived in Paris. Sold it on Ebay after I moved back to the US though. Along with my Longchamp collection. :)

    I have signed up to take a water color class at the local college. I have always been able to sketch, but have never painted. I noted your paintbox and wondered if you could tell me the maker. The instructor gave out a list of colors and paper, but your set looks very much more convenient to use than a bunch of tubes.

  23. I thought your idea of painting one's pet cat or dog was terrific, but painting us is perfect! Hope you receive lots of interest in that endeavor. Have a great Tuesday.

  33. This is such a fabulous idea! I love it! I will actually be traveling to Paris with my family this July for about a week...will you be in town then? Would love to meet you in person... if not, I will seriously consider ordering a portrait as a little souvenir.

  34. SUCCESS!
    Both for you and for me! I love my Paris portrait painting.
    And my macarons turned out parfait!
    They have pied!
    However, I only got 19 out of the batch and I'm afraid they might not travel well to NY - so you and bear will have to forgive me; however, I will think of you as I eat them and go miam, miam

  37. I got it today!!! It's fantastic! I am so happy - I've already framed it and it's sitting next to me on the coffee table as I write!! My husband and I love the way my DVF trench coat came out - it looks amazing and you captured it perfectly!! Sorry for the excessive use of exclamation marks, but I am very excited, can you tell?!?


    THANK YOU!!!!! MERCI BEAUCOUP!!

  38. Thanks so much for the watercolor you did of my friend and her dog in front of Laduree.
    It's just perfect and I know she will love it.
    I'll be jealous and want one of my own.
    Thank you again,
    Susan
