Cats and macarons - I really need to get to Paris.
ReplyDeletecharming, Carol! Really lovely images. Your dogs and cats are very Parisienne.
ReplyDeletea good morning...is the kitty kat painting for sale? would love to acquire.
ReplyDeleteso cute.
hugs
I love the cats and dogs in these paintings. What a charming idea.. You should do commissions of People's pets to be painted in front of Laduree or their favorite places. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThese must be the happiest pets in Paris!
ReplyDeleteGreat paintings and photos - what a great series!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my story:
ReplyDeleteI had the happy experience of being in Paris for my big birthday in December. Thanks to your fabulous blog - one of my “must do’s” was of course to go to Laduree on Champs Elysees. There was a line of course and they had a surly (albeit stylishly dressed) bouncer at the door. We had been waiting patiently outside the door for about 20 minutes when two pretty young French women stepped up, said “something” in French and got in line ahead of us. There was a young American man in line behind us who “grumbled” and the bouncer stepped up to him and growled “What is the problem? They were here before…” I was afraid there was going to be a rumble and that we would be denied entry to macaron heaven. We ALL wound up waiting about 90 minutes (!) to get table service. That was longer than the wait to get into the Orsay Museum. Happily, I was able to visit 3 Ladurees – thanks for the tip on Printemps. (Next time!)
All in all – it was a wonderful experience. In my humble opinion – Laduree is tops for beautiful but Pierre Herme has the BEST macarons. Is that sacrilegious?
Thanks for the Parisian Memories!
Victoria
Loved today's post, too. Why did I not know that their is a boutique at Printemps? Maybe because I don't shop there as often as I do in GL. I am getting the bag with the chandelier this trip.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I find ourselves scouring the backgrounds and foregrounds of your photos, studying the garb of the locals. We're traveling in the fall and want to dress appropriately. Do you have any tips?
ReplyDeleteMerci,
Mellissa and Amelia
OMG!!!I just love the painting with the schnauzers! I have one black standard and one black mini, it looks just like them!And i love Ladureè! this painting was just perfect!!!Where can i buy and how much is it????? From AK
ReplyDeleteOh giggles,
ReplyDeleteyou literally got the Katze im Sack! :-)))
The cats are adorable.
They are on a macaron diet for sure. ;-)
Too cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for including Deedles and Skylar in the blog today.
I have nominated you for a Splash award - please check out my site to take a look!
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog so much and look forward to opening it every evening. Since you asked about La Duree I thought I would share with you the less then perfect watercolor sketch I did of the tea shop last year. I am a watercolor teacher who teaches workshops on travel painting and sketching and this was a picture I did from a photo I took when I was in Paris. Keep up the wonderful blog. Its www.barbararothart.com
I was tickled to see Oneida (the CAT) and the wedding box... I booked my ticket to Paris for June 3-12... and I will be hanging out at Ladurée!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen anything this cute in a long, long, time! I will contact you for more information!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup!
I love these pet-inspired paintings! I should ask you to do something with my kitties, and then could hang it with the Angelina paintings I bought from you!
ReplyDeleteI've just entered the blogosphere myself. Visit, if you like: http://gardening-wars.blogspot.com/
It's just starting, but I hope to expand in the coming weeks.

Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Not only is the portrait beautiful, but I also appreciated the prompt communication and delivery!

Thank you so much!!
It is beautiful!!
Leslie
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteMy friend LOVED your watercolor of Bella! It was so much fun to watch her open the gift. (One of her favorite places in Paris is Ladurée so you can only imagine how perfectly perfect your work of art was).
Bella really liked it too. ;-) Thanks again, Paige
Thank you, so very much for a lovely work of art. It will give me pleasure to give this to my son-in-law, Dan. I am having this matted and framed and I will present to him in front of my daughter and their three sons. The boys know you did they painting and they can't wait to see the finished piece too.
ReplyDeleteThanks once again and as soon as I can snatch some pics of my youngest daughter's Jack Russell, I will forward them to you and we can do something for her 40th birthday.
As for me I am JUST so tickled with the painting of Bo and Benny
Your painting came today. It's terrific! I'm so proud to have it and I can tell you my wife is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
Chris
Cleo and Lena, the cats, are very proud of their portrait – it’s really adorable, and you are very talented.
ReplyDeleteI will be back!
I received the watercolor today. It is FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteThe expression is totally Buddy's and my friend is going to love this!
Thank you so much for getting this to me so quickly.
Regards,
Rose
Got the picture yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great.
Callie (the Jack Russell) looks like she's on steroids, but it's the thought that counts.
Beat regards,
Maggie
Everything is great and I have already had them framed and they are awaiting Christmas Morning. Thanks for checking on them - they really are very special and I know the girls will love them.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at your blog each day - it is one of my new favorite things!
Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThe Cafe Bosquet is great and we love the images of Myko and Toula. Myko is a little darker and Toula is lighter, so their personalities shine.
Actually, we are on the way right now to visit the Framers.
So this is very exciting!
Happy Holidays!
Marilyn
The painting arrived last night. Thank you so much, it is perfection. My husband loves it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Merci beaucoup,
Summer
Magnifique!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost that time of year, when my husband and I head over to Paris for a romantic getaway. Wish we could bring our dog Cheddar, he would look tres handsome in a beret!
It is so beautiful I can’t wait to see the picture in person. I will let you know when I receive it, thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteEmily
The piece is lovely! Its already at the framers and I asked my brother in law to get pics of the last dog and the adorable cat for the next piece, this time in front of a patisserie!
ReplyDeleteLuis
I received the painting on Wednesday it's AWESOME! I love it. I just wanted you to know that I blogged about it today.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, EM
Hi carol, I received the Lulu's portrait today. It's beautiful and we all love it here at the office. I know Barbara will love her gift too.
ReplyDeleteThe face really looks like lulu!
Athena
I just wanted to let you know that the painting of Sylvester arrived and I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much (again).
Tara
I received the watercolor today and I am so thrilled! I think you really captured the essence of the boys, especially Alfie.
ReplyDeleteThank you for remembering to the red collars and hearts.
I planned to give it to my husband for Valentine's Day but I couldn't wait.
He loves it, too!
Merci, Barbara
Rose and I love her watercolor! It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteShe wanted to send you this photo of her with the painting in my "Paris" Room...a pink
and black guest room in our home for those who love Paris! I will
frame it (gold, I think) this weekend, and give it a place of honor!
Thanks again!
Vickie and Rose
Mr.Mickey's portrait arrived yesterday and he gives it a four-paws-up! Which is not an easy thing for him to do!
ReplyDeleteHe is now insisting that I have a spotlight installed to shine on him 24 hours a day.
He loves the gold highlights you put in his hair. What a little egomaniac he is.
Thank you again for your great work.
I am coming back for something for my daughter for Mother's Day.
Sue
So funny I just wrote about my bakery on my blog. http://househuntinginparis.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/rue-groupama-err-rue-littre/
ReplyDeleteNext time you come to Paris that would be so fun to commission a watercolor of my dog waiting in front tied up to the road sign, which happens every day =)
When is your next trip to Paris planned?
Last night was Barbara's retirement party and we gave her the portrait of LuLu. She loved it so much! I played Vanna of the gifts and presented her with all the gifts and gave her the Piece de Resistance (did i spell that right) last...which was, of course, your painting ..framed. There had been a dog theme throughout the party when her colleagues talked to the group about personal experiences and good times with Barbaraj...a lot of people bonded with her over her 32 years of work over their love of dogs.
ReplyDeleteThank you again very much Carol. Your work is a treasure.
Athena
Actually, I just saw the watercolor on your blog
ReplyDeleteit is perfect!!!
Looks just like the lovely Bella; thank you.
Last week I received as a retirement gift, one of your watercolors of my dear furry girl, Natasha, who passed away last August. I love, love, love the picture. It looks just like her, and she looks so spiffy in her red bandana sitting in front of the red checkered tablecloth. My friend, Athena Watson, knew it would be the perfect present.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your part in this wonderful surprise.
Barbara
The 4 pets in Paris portrait arrive yesterday.
ReplyDeletethanks we really love it.
i can't wait to have it framed and hang it up. now...if i could only think of someone to put in front of laduree......

Hi, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to just say many thanks for the wonderful painting of our Libby in front of one of my favorite places in Paris!!! Of course, you won’t find many postcards of Caves Auge which makes this painting all the more special!!!!
You really captured the essence of Libby with a nice French twist…. Thank you again…. Larry
I picked the painting of Tuckie and Zoe today an it is just great. I am sure that my friend's wife will love it! I am sure that once I get it framed it will look fabtastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks again,

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI received in the mail last week a package from C. Gillot and was told not to open it 'til my 40th birthday...could barely stand the tension between me and that envelope...finally the day arrives and I carefully unwrap the package which contained the most beautiful painting of my pup "Jaxson" sitting very contentedly in front of Laduree! I absolutely adore it! My sister, who lives in Paris has had me hooked on "Paris Breakfasts" and your portraits. Thank you so much for the very fab birthday present. I will cherish it! Cheryl (Port Hope, Ontario)
I got Lexi's portrait in Paris painting the other night and it was just gorgeous, the colors vivid and wonderful. The internet does not do your paintings justice.
ReplyDeleteI took it over to my mother’s house (she lives right next door to me) to show it to her. I didn’t tell her I doing this and immediately upon seeing the painting, she recognized Lexi. My mother is an 80 year old stoic German woman, not easily moved to tears, but her eyes welled up and she was so pleased to see the painting and wanted to know immediately where I was going to hang it when I had it framed. Lexi was an important little girl in both of our lives, so we both “thank you” for the wonderful job you did, it has already become a cherished possession.
Thank you so much!!!
Yes the watercolor arrived safe and sound in Pert
ReplyDeleteIt’s totally gorgeous! Mum will love it. This will make her want to go to Paris .. again!
Thank you so much too for all the little Paris souvenir samples. I work in printing and really appreciate the effort and work that goes into a beautiful piece of print.

Sending love.
A bientot,

Tazzie's portrait was waiting for me when I got home, and it is just perfect. Even better than expected, and I can't wait to give it to her Mom (except that I want to keep it!). Many thanks for what is truly going to be a gift that keeps on giving.
ReplyDeleteHave enjoyed "following" you in Paris and London. What a "tasty" trip, and thanks, too, for a great list of new patisseries to try. We have similar tastes...tarte au citron!
Very best,
Sue
Today is my wife’s birthday and I gave her Joey’s portrait this afternoon. She was so thrilled that she asked me to send you an email expressing her thanks.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to add my thanks since it’s not often that I’ve been able to give her something which has made her this happy, so from both of us
Thanks!!
I received your painting today. Thank you so much. You captured our little dogs beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my daughter to see it.

Sorry for not written before but we were living during the last days our carnaval holiday and I was so tired that I promissed myself to not look my e-mail box during the holidays. But... the package arrived!!!!!!! and was so amazing! I'm so, so, so happy and glad to have met you. Pituska, de female, is 11 years old and is showing signs of old and to have her always alive in a picture is very important to me.
ReplyDeleteonce again sorry for not told you before that the painting arrived and thank you so much for the happiness you gave to me and my family.
In my next trip to Paris, September maybe I'll try to meet you because I have enjoying so much your blog and your way to see Paris.
