Some of you may wonder what's going on at Parisbreakfast studio. I haven't shown you many paintings lately.
This is a page from a book dummy I'm working on.
In fact its pretty busy around here.
Since January I've been painting up a storm for an exhibit.
At the James Beard Foundation's Greenhouse Gallery
167 West 12th Street NYC
It opens THIS Saturday May 1 and I have to hang it tomorrow.Eeeek
Time for an updated tour of PB Studios.
The studio back in October 2008, when my landlord decided to put in a new floor while I was away in Paris.

My "Paris" studio at Hotel La Louisiane.
I've been showing you lots of photographs of late. It's like a daily walking tour through Paris whenever I look for the stories I make up each day for PB.
I am horridly late on YOUR PORTRAITS! ouch
This weekend Bear and I will hit the books nonstop.
We haven't forgotten you at all!
THANKS PB readers for your patience.
The portrait sale has been extended.
Back to painting!
Back to macaron researche for the book.

More PB Studio posts:Quelle Wreck!
I will be back...must get more espresso from stovetop. But had to shriek when I saw the coffee cup on your laptop. That was just a piece of fun fake sculpture,right?!
ReplyDeleteAieeeee...
xo
PS: Happy hanging!
good luck with the show! have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteBefore I forget:
ReplyDeleteShould you ever spill your coffee on your keyboard, do not (never ever) use your vacuum cleaner to suck the liquid up! My kids are still laughing about my "Keyboard Keys Disaster"! ;-)
Good luck with preparing the show,
may it become an instant success!
MERCI!
ReplyDelete& mercy
The cup is EMPTY...
Only posing for the shot, just like America's Next Top Model.
Not to worry.
Anyway I drink hot chocolate-much kinder to key boards.
Keyboards need an occasional shot of chocolat non :)
Good luck tomorrow, Carol! I'll be thinking of you! I looked at your shows schedule recently and thought, "ah, it's almost May, exciting times for Mlle Gillott." I'm so psyched for you. I know even more people will come to love you. Lovely post, and I always love to see your atelier and what you're up to.
ReplyDeletelove it all.... creativity everywhere... you are sooooo talented...
ReplyDeletep.s. dont we love landlords? so considerate ... HA!

ReplyDeleteAnd your desk - your very worky mess !
And your RED glasses - it sounds like happyness !
bravo !
A+C++++
I love your blog. Its absoluetly sensational and the highlight of my days!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you could do a piece on the typical French girl apartment. In the movies it always looks very thrown together, simple and chic.
I know you must have all the insight on this!!!!
That would be fantastic...
Thanks for putting such an inspiring blog out there in the world!! : )
Bethany : )
I'll give it a think Bethany..
ReplyDeleteI don't really have enough research on that.
And I don't want to invade anyone's privacy
Showing my own chaos is another matter :)

I wish I lived in NY to be able to see your show and meet you. For now I will just be happy reading your blog and laughing with all the crazy things you do! Your home is an artist's dream, enjoy it! Good luck tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteJust adore getting a peek inside PB's studio!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup!
A veritable whirlpool of creativity obviously.
What a fun look inside your world - I feel privileged and enchanted.
ReplyDeletehahaha Yr studio looks just like mine, will have to post it now.
ReplyDeleteI have a sign over mine,
"Creative minds are seldom tidy." Love the inspiration board.
Write on/wipe off?
Nice to see BEAR is hard at work, not just loafing around dreaming of Paris macarons...
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps he does that too, but i hope he's being of assistance to you Carolg!
merci
You are charming.
ReplyDeleteBlessings on you.

Bon courage, ma Chère ! J’espère que tu t’amuse bien et que tu es rempli de créativité. You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteWish I could see your James Beard Foundation show, Carol! I am consoled somewhat though that you will be showing in my hometown of D.C. later this year (I did remember that right didn't I?) --- and that dummy page from your books looks well, delicious, and DELIGHTFUL. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is Fabulous! Love the drawings of macarons...Good luck with the show.
ReplyDeleteWell you are one busy Artist. I am wishing you a successful Show and that you sell lots. I do have to say I like your Studio much better messy. Looks more inspiring then blank. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great post today.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know there was a James Beard House. (I'm a FL/MN girl)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I took a virtual tour.
It looks fab and a perfect place for your Paris paintings.
Beyond cool.
Congratulations!
Best of luck to you.

Ah yes, I have been with this PB "mess" - up close and personal - many times!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs long as you create,
who cares what it looks like?
just caught up with the last two posts, carol.
ReplyDelete"mon dieu where are my cookbooks!" OHMYGOD! that made me laugh.
almost as delicious feeling as "chausson au pomme".
good luck with the shows.
I love the apartment!!
ReplyDeleteHow you get anything done in that little space is a miracle :)
(And you do manage to crank out a lot of work!)
I grew up in an extension to our attic...
ReplyDeleteI can't bear big spaces!!
I'm best in a closet
Love to draw/paint on the train :)
Tanks!
Hi
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog!!! I was looking for blogs about Paris, and I found yours! It's amazing! The pictures make me feel in Paris again! I already put the blog adress in my favorite, so I can come back anytime I want.
Congratulations!!!
Oh my gosh, your blog is so cool! I love it! LOVE it! Ha ha, blogging from a bedroom in Astoria, that's fabulous! I used to live in Williamsburg, which, if you squint your eyes, is kind of like Paris (not!). Anyway, love the painting, I've been seeing a lot of illustration lately, it's really refreshing. You are so talented, and I am following, and I will absolutely be back! XO!
ReplyDeleteBonjour Carol,
ReplyDeleteBonne chance tomorrow - I'm sure it will be fabulous with your paintings there! You're just bursting with talent, I would love to be able to create like that!
à bientôt,
Mimi
Your watercolours are miam miam!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for at least a year now, and I have updates sent directly into my inbox.
It's the best way to start my morning at work over a cup of tea!!!
Just imagine how many people's lives you are cheering with your cute, whimsical little posts! :)
I was checking out the Lauduree website, clicked on the Le Bar icon and OMG. Macaron cocktails coming soon! Yum!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the show.
Pat
Thank you so much for a wonderful glimpse into your artistic space and process, Carol. I love to be able to have this behind-the-scenes peek into your working world! Good luck in getting all your work accomplished, and may every success be yours. :)
ReplyDeleteThat book looks totally intriguing! A tout vitesse it s'il vous plait!
ReplyDeleteLove your studio dear Carol...you are such an artist :-)
ReplyDeleteLove, Evi
OMG - I love the drawings of the ladies on the macaron chairs as well as dining at the macaron table, so adorable! I have to show my god-daughter and her sister - we are BIG macaron freaks!!
ReplyDeleteEat deliciously,

That macaron teapot is to die for. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteI did the same shriek as Giulia!
ReplyDeleteBut . . . I don't think it's a --gulp--fake! GOOD LUCK with hanging and showing and not spilling!
