3 Pups in Paris, original art, 9" x 11"
Contact me if you are interested in a portrait of your pup in Paris.
The exterior look a lot...
Like a wedding gateaux 
Lots of green boxes 
Too many choices! 
I always end up with the same ole thing.. 
Too many CHOICES! 
Too many people... 
The new bar downstairs-it must be for evenings... 
I just found your blog about a week ago. I'm in heaven here. Going to Paris is my big travel dream. One day, I'll get there. For now, I can travel in your blog.
ReplyDeleteI've read about Laduree many times and it is going to be one of the first places I go to for some delicious pastries.
O.K., you need to shoot photos of French Bulldogs when you go to Paris this month. I saw that box at Ladurée with the Frenchie on it the last time I was there, and just couldn't justify parting with Euro 26.00 to buy it (Yes, I know it was full of good things). But it is my dog on the box. Please, look for Frenchies, for me!
ReplyDeleteYou, in the USA, have the best wedding cakes I have never seen! They should be displayed in the windows. Then, I would shoot them!Anyway, we will have une pyramide de macarons for my wedding!
ReplyDeleteAnne, you can get American-style wedding cakes in Paris at Wedding Cakes Avenue.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and so charming.
ReplyDeleteI love your dogs.
I absolutely adore your watercolors. Especially the pooches.
ReplyDeleteYour detail here is just great!
ReplyDeleteNice one Carol!
Carol, That painting is wonderful. Look at all the detail you did... wow. I love love that black dog with the white paws in the last photo. What an adorable pup.
ReplyDeletea happy friday...as always enjoy my pb fix. you will have to stop by and see my most adorable alpacas today ^..^
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful day...
I didn't think there was any place in Paris that didn't let pups in!! Your posts always make me hungry for macarons...and Paris!!
ReplyDeleteKirsten
Okay, you are definitely making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteNow I need to make plans to go to Paris.
Very lush, feminine setting-Laduree is.
ReplyDeleteAnd a perfect backdrop for your adorable doggies.
That cup of tea looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with 4 macarons to go with it as far as I can see.
A very affordable, luxe indulgence compared to crossing the threshold at Dior or YSL.
YUM!
What a great way to spend a bit of an afternoon...those choices are CHOICE indeed... i'd have to work my way through them. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd aren't we lovin' that Bo has those two white paws? What personality. Cute "perfect" dog.
I can't think of anything as heartwarming as being surrounded by darling pups in the beauty of Paris envrironment...with macarons of course. All pups melt me. Your painting is WOOOF!!
ReplyDeleteA good dream to have, and a charming watercolor of your dream. Have a great weekend, Carol!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series as always - God, the pastries!
Hi - I was in Paris last May. I last time I was there was 1975 !! Anyhow, my daughter and I were in Laduree near La Madeleine and there was indeed a chien under the neighboring table. Extremely well behaved bien sur. I really enjoy your work... Nancy
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, I would like to present you with the Spiritual Art Award for your contribution to my sanity and well being. Because of your blog I am a happier person. Come visit my blog and pick up your award.
ReplyDeleteNo choice for me - always the caramel...anything with caramel. xv
ReplyDeleteHmmm, perhaps we should start a petition telling Obama we want you to do his dog's official portrait!?!
ReplyDeleteI went to Laduree Bonaparte this morning! The windows were full of muguet (lily of the valley) for May 1. It was my inaugural visit and I never would have thought to go if I hadn't started reading your blog! We got a selection of macarons (and a strawberry bergamot charlotte as a palate cleanser) at Laduree and then walked down Rue Bonaparte and got a selection at Pierre Herme, and then had a taste-testing in Luxembourg Gardens. . . Laduree's rose flavor was the winner in our competition. . . but the results are probably skewed and warrant a second round. . . Anyway it was my favorite morning in Paris, so thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAbsolument délicieux et magnifique… merci ! David
ReplyDeleteDo I dare mention that Maxie ....
ReplyDeleteoh well, I have got to tell him that Paris would mean no pastry shops for him! ;-)
Ca m'énerve les gens qui font la queue devant Ladurée... but turns out it is good! You're right in getting your trad' four! What flavors, ma'am?
ReplyDeleteSUSU! I ALWAYS get the same ole 4 macaron flavors too :)
ReplyDeleteCaramel
Framboise
Citron
cafe
Ca m'énerve but what can I do? I'm a creature of habit...
Fantastique !
ReplyDeleteTout est beau, tout est divin !
Les petits gâteaux sont à tomber par terre, j'en ai l'eau à la bouche !
Et tes aquarelles sont superbes, j'adore !
Fantastic draw like usually !!!
ReplyDeleteMille bises,
Béatrice
They have Wilson's picture on the box! I'm going to Paris later this month, I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteLL
Are you saying that you tried to entice Ozzie to Paris knowing that he would be EXCLUDED from Ladurie? Quelle horreure! (or maybe horreur?) I suppose I can't blame them...Ozzie is the consummate gentlemen but with such temptation....
ReplyDeleteI love your "I dreamed my dog went to Laduree" watercolor and I am so wanting one of those pastries in your photographs right now...especially that chocolate-carmelized creation in your scarf post.
ReplyDeleteits fatal! Not having time for lunch and seeing this blog.....
ReplyDeleteHas Barack taken you up on the offer yet?
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Ha, we were exactly sitting across from the fireplace at Laduree in August 08. Right after dinner after we got our check, we saw a couple of mouse rooming around by the fireplace!!!! C'est tres Paris I guess.
ReplyDeleteI think Ozzie has been dreaming of going to Laduree! And NOT to have his portrait painted!
