I paint Paris dreams and mail ๐ฎ them ❤️ wherever you are ๐ Receive an illustrated letter ๐ every month from Paris, France ๐ซ๐ท Hi, I’m Carol Gillott, watercolorist ex-NYer living on Ile St-Louis in a 20 meter chambre de bonne sending out Illustrated letters monthly from Paris. A travel artist, travel blogger, writer, watercolorist, photographer, I share my personal travels experiences so you can travel vicariously through my sketches and words.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

As early as yesterday afternoon, la gattina was looking devilish. So far so good, but it's only 8.24am.
Mwhahahaha.
MUCH more fun that coming to work and finding that someone has hidden your chair, your pencil cup, your stapler, your tape dispenser...

Ordinairily I don't care for fish but this time I will make an exception!
Love your recent posts, and seeing dear Bear on his various adventures!
