Yesterday while you were munching your way through Patisserie des Reves goodies, I was at The White House painting Bo's portrait. Only kidding. But I was in Washington DC.
Visiting the DC Alliance Francaise.
I will be exhibiting the Paris Facade watercolors there in September 2010.
After measuring and picture-taking I was hungry, so I dropped into Bistro Du Coin nearby.
A little closeup on my soup d'onion lurking somewhere under this blanket of melted gruyere.
Then I ran to The Phillips Collection.
For a quick race around.
Before running off to catch the bus back to New York.

More news and the contest!I will have an exhibit of the Paris Facades at The James Beard Foundation in May-June of 2010.
It will be in their Greenhouse Gallery
Now for background and hints:
The Greenhouse Gallery exhibits the works of up-and-coming and established artists who work with culinary themes. Providing artists with a space to show their work not only enhances the overall ambience of the room during events, it’s also in keeping with the Foundation’s mission to celebrate, preserve, and nurture America’s culinary heritage and diversity. Past exhibits have featured mouthwatering food photography, romantic watercolors of mealtime still lifes, and exuberant mixed-media collages.

THE PRIZE!
is this watercolor if you can come up with a catchy, witty title for the show that incorporates food and Paris. The people at the Beard House are foodies in the food biz and they probably love Paris (who doesn't?)
How can I catch their attention?
I'm tossing the ball in your park.
Here are some of the crumby titles I came up with:

ReplyDeleteor
Nowhere but Paris
"Nourri par Paris"
ReplyDeleteI love your blog it's very inspirational,
ReplyDeletehere's my title for your contest... "Pièce de Résistance"
okay here is the definition from wikipedia that describes the title and I think Your work:
referring to the best part or feature of something (as in a meal), a showpiece, or highlight. It can be thought of as the portion of a creation which defies (i.e. "resists") orthodox or common conventions and practices, thereby making the whole of the creation unique and special.
Paris by Taste
ReplyDeleteBon Bon Paris!!

ReplyDeleteOr roughly translated (please excuse my high school french, not sure if this is correct):

ReplyDeleteHow about Coup de foudre or love at first sight? It's certainly how I feel about Paris pastries.
ReplyDeleteI am too tired to come up with anything witty, but I do love your photos. I visited the Phillips Collection last time i was in DC, too. That onion soup is making me hungry! Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteLate as I am, I have another title for you (I know, useless, but a girl needs to have some pun, don't you think so?):

;-)
I know contest closed but I can't stop...LOL!
ReplyDelete"Paris Sweet&Savoury"
"Paris aime ....."
ReplyDeleteand the pictures would tell the story
Délices de Paris!
ReplyDeleteHow about:
ReplyDelete"Boutiques Saveur"
Actually, Carol, I think you have the title already.....it is in the sub-title on your blog.....
ReplyDelete"Paris Dreams...."
:)
Egad! I missed the deadline! But look how many entries you got!
ReplyDeleteCarol, ça vas? C´est moi,à nouveau.
ReplyDeleteDesolée, mais je n´ai pas lu le poste à temps d´envoyer ma suggestion de nom, mais je suis sûr que votre peintures vont attirer plus d'attention n'importe quel titre on vas choisi; En tout cas, voici quelques pour fichier - Paris: papier et plat, Paris de couleurs et de saveurs, Paris: coloré et savoureux, Paris:regarder et manger.
Et vous, quand vous pensez en venir à Rio? Vous êtes française òu americaine? Jusqu´a maintenant je ne le sais pas. Moi, je suis bresiliènne, j´habitte à Rio, mais je suis en train d´étudier le français et j´aime beaucoup la langue. Je pense que vous alliez aimer faire la peinture des façades de certaines maisons et des bâtiments de notre ville. À bientôt.
Ops.... J´ai oublié ...J´ai faim à cause de la soupe à l´onion. C´est belle...c´est parfait, on n´a pas à Rio de cette façon. Je soupire de nostalgie de la Mouff.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure DC will love your paintings!
ReplyDeleteShall we have a lunch on the terrace Renoir painted, next time in Paris?
ReplyDeleteYou are getting the recognition you so rightly deserve. Will my Carol Gillot originals be worth a fortune one day soon? ;)
