Painting the
Eiffel Tower seemed a good idea for
January's Paris letter.
First off get some Eiffel towers to observe in the studio. 1€ each Pas mal.
This too would have made a good model
You can wear your Eiffel Towers over at
Boutique Anne Maisonneuve 112 bvd Raspail
I was after the wild fireworks effect that takes place every New Years in Paris.
A macaron box lent a helping hand.
Step 1.Prepare background watercolor washes just in case I don't pull it off first time. I did not.
Step 2. Experiment many times over.
Ta Da! et Voila
Now for the last of Paris Noël pictures
Saint Sulpice
Street lights in the 6th arrondissement
Always plenty of bears around Paris.
In Cartier's window last night at
Place Saint Germain des Pres.
I've fallen back in love with macarons. These are from
RichArt, rue Bonaparte
Bear drops into
Le Bonbon au Palais19, rue Monge for some marron glacé..
Enjoy your champers tonight PBers!

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely paintings and photos. Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you. I went to bed at 8:30
California time!!what a party pooper
I went to bed even earlier 😳😳
DeleteDidn't mind a bit 😀🎈
I love that painting of the tower with fireworks! We went to bed early, too, but were awakened by a big gunshot and then fireworks going off. That's what is done way out here in the country. The neighbors down the road had a party according to Facebook but "the old folks," namely us, were not invited. Ni modo. Happy New Year, Carol, from Colorado.
ReplyDeleteI saw the light effects on the Arc on You tube, it was quite spectacular along with the fireworks. But your Eiffel fireworks are a smashing success. My first trip to Paris was at Christmas time, billed as a shopping trip, 3 days and I've been hooked ever since. Too cold for me now, though.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU Janet!!
DeleteI'm adding a link to the post. Fun!
The weather has been mild here mostly btw 😀

ReplyDeleteI hope you will stick with the ET despite whoever the fireworks were this year. Oops, I see that you did - I bought one. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed every single one of your Christmas posts, even when I have been on the fly and not commenting! And I love the Tower and all you went through for it! Happiest of New Years! Perhaps 2018 will bring a visit to Paris for me. I hope so!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie!
DeleteParis awaits you!
Wish you all the Best for 2018, Carol..Your art and your processes that you share light up my days.

ReplyDeleteSitué à Paris, le Louvre a été l'un des musées les plus célèbres et les plus visités au monde. Pascal Robaglia & Pascal Robaglia Art Situé sur la rive droite du premier arrondissement, le Louvre a été construit dans une zone située entre la Seine et la rue de Rivoli. Ce bâtiment a été à l'origine utilisé comme une forteresse, et plus tard a été utilisé pour exposer l'art et transformé en musée.
