If we dropped rose petals around an arrangement it would just look as though the flowers were dying but not in Paris. I love the pink Laduree arrangement on a grey base. And I still can't figure how you do such realistic logos on the cups?????
Is that Laduree boxes painting spoken for? Quelle prix? Layaway?
So Paris is colorful to say the least...had it not been for a few blogs...I may still be in the dark about it (merci)...One day though (after the kids are up and out of the house)I'm gonna be walking into one of these places and see a girl with a camera and a paint brush and I'm going to tap her shoulder and say, "Carol?" And probably make a huge fool of myself. Amelie, huh? A movie?
Carol, not only do your watercolors enchant me they are strong stimuli also. Tonight when my daughter asked me what music I'd like during supper, I answered "Edith Piaf", thinking "Les amants d'un jour" but "La vie en rose" was first and your little pink sand timer popped up in my eye. Mille mercis pour tout ce que vous nous offrez chaque jour Kris
It seems you are sometimes in my head,one of my favourite places was Au nom de la rose vitrine. Merci beaucoup for making me remember those days... Smila
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…

I´m not too fond of pink, but I guess I´ll have to change my opinion about pink after seeing your pivs. Wonderful!

These paintings have the kiss of pink! They look like real life not still life! Amazing!
I am always in search of red and pink eye candy this time of year! Thank-you for posting your delightful photos and watercolors!

Your blog is inspirational. I'm off to paint something with pink!
I'm not Amรฉlie, just an other parisian girl, but I have one or two other rose-flavour things to show you ( to let you taste) when you come!
Carol,
