Ladurée Lemon macaron, watercolor 10" x 12" There were plenty of macarons at the Paris Salon du Chocolat and I painted many more in my hotel room. We won't discuss how many I ate...
Chocolate was there for sure, but all flavors were represented. I bought a bag of 10 and forgot to protect them from the chocolate bars and boxes in my bag opening night. When I got home I had 1 big mushed mac :)
This HUGE book was for sale at the Paris choco salon - showing macs bigger than your head! Called, Un Amour de Macaron. Everyone LOVES macarons.
I spotted this postcard on a Paris street. It made me think of macarons... Macs on the mind !
The macaron colors can be so pretty not to mention the flavors...
At the NY Chocolate Show, Mad Mac NYC was happy to provide us with plenty of macarons.
This is my Paris hotel bed/worktable. I more or less slept on the floor so the paintings could dry. I have lots more ParisBreakfasts watercolors to show you!
The macarons look delicious too but I'm so glad your showing us yr yummy watercolors again. I can't wait to see the others on the bed.
ReplyDeleteThose macaron's look so good.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeig your watercolors.
Everything here is so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found this place — I will come here when I am in need of beauty (which is daily!).
I thought macaroons had coconut but these don't look like that...are they different? Kind of like baked meringue? Love your work and your blog...thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to that! At least I can look at the macaroons...
ReplyDeleteSO WONDERFUL TO SEE WHERE YOU CREATE! LOVE THE IMAGES, CAROL! SO WHEN'S THE BOOK COMING OUT??
ReplyDeleteYummy, this looks delicious
ReplyDeleteThe coconut macaroons are a different kind of cookie than the macarons....
ReplyDeleteI've seen macarons everywhere online lately...and I'm dying to try one.
Does anyone know if I can order some?
Carol, Macaroons are my faverote yum. The hotel paintings look great and I cant wait to see more. This is so exciting. While you were in paris did you run into any art supplies that were interesting?
ReplyDeleteHave a good one cant wait for the other posts to come.
Linda
your blog takes my breath away. just seeing your art amidst paris and chocolate leaves me in awe as i take in all the colors and flavors.
ReplyDeletecoming from the suburbs off san francisco, i visit your blog for a peek into the whimsical, sophisticated, and delicious cosmopolitan shot-in-the-arm we all need once in a while.
thanks for sharing your pretty, pretty world.
looks really delicious... lol!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings. Technical question: Do you photograph your still lifes and then paint them or are you painting them directly from life. I spy a photo up in one corner of the bed. Seems like a photo would be a great help in capturing light, etc.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Now I need to find come of those lovely cookies......
The third from last image... oh my god...
ReplyDeleteLovely watercolours. You slept on the floor? That is dedication to your art!
Macarons in France are like a delicious homemade chocolate chip cookie - pure pleasure!
ReplyDeleteJust no chips and no flour...
I like rose and pistacho the best.
And you are macaron Queen?
Clearly, I will have to focus on your watercolours and avoid looking at the other yummies here. I just had a severe sugar urge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the glimpse of the glass teapot.
ReplyDeleteI really wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor for some of these paintings :-)
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who hasn't had a macaroon? That's it, when I'm Paris I'm definitely gonna try some.
ReplyDeleteCarol:- really looking forward to seeing more of the water colours.
ReplyDeleteWanderlust:- yes you should!( even just one) ;o)
I recently went on a macaron spree in Tokyo, it was fun and delicious. Your painting was pretty.
ReplyDeleteCome and look at my travel photos of the Boulanger Patisserie in Versailles.
ReplyDeleteI am speechless...thankfully, my fingers are still working to type. I am experiencing a sensory overload just looking at the photographs and reading your words. I see the other comments calling for more of your own art...but I don't know if I could have stood more. I look forward to coming back.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered macaroons on my last visit to Paris...so many years wasted! But now I know...
So I've begun this day with excessiveness...macarons and chocolate. Still there is more to try as today Le Beaujolais Nouveau Est Arrivé! At least with you, I've only overindulged visually. May the rest of the day continue in a similar vein...
Santé!
Meilleurs vœux!
Slept on the FLOOR! Now that's dedication to one's craft!! *~Yummo*~ these macaroons look delactable!
ReplyDeleteThey look so good
ReplyDeleteBut today, I'm not in mood
Your blog is recommended and that's why I got the link:-).
ReplyDeleteI love Paris and your watercolors are gorgeous. I've heard so much about macarons, but I haven't got a chance to try them in person. The photos are just beautiful...Thank you for sharing!
OH MY GAWD I NEED THAT BOOK!
ReplyDeleteAww you slept on the floor! The things you do for your art. ;) So beautiful!
I discovered macaroons a few months ago. There is a chocolatier in Geneva that makes THE best chocolate macaroons. I fell in love immediately and I've tried others but nothing like the taste and texture of these ones. I must got to Paris and do some further extensive research...!
ReplyDeleteOde To The Brown Bean:
ReplyDeleteBean de Cocao,
delights within,
waiting beneath your Sienna skin.
Those who know,
who have the skill
coax from you
the chocolaty thrill.
I for one,
have had my fill.
For now.

I see you know how to find the better Macarons in Paris ;-)
ReplyDeletetrès jolies photos...
I finally got my hand on some macs to try. I have to say that these little things look just beautiful...Taste very interesting too. The only drawback is that they are pretty expensive:-).
