Lindt Gold Bunny, Faberge, April Paris letter

Last week I was painting KIOSQUES like mad and this week its the LINDT GOLD CHOCOLATE EASTER BUNNY!

I got an email anouncing THE RUSSIAN TEA ROOM Easter dinner using the menu art I did for them a while back. Inspiration! Chocolate bunny time and FABERGE Easter egg time.

A trip to the LINDT OPERA store was required.

Boy do they have bunnies! Every size imaginable going up to a kilo(2 pounds) and more. I bought 3 sizes totaling 5 bunnies.

These innocent bunnies are dangerous. Addictive. I ate my subject matter.

I had to go back to the Lindt store for more model material. They now have a tea salon and divine ice cream. I got raspberry in a fancy double-dipped chocolate cone (3,50€). I'll def return when its warmer.

Hours of gazing on the sublime Lindt Gold bunny, you become smitten. Its form is lovely. Just the tiniest indication for the cottontail. Utter simplicity. The story goes, back in 1952, one of their chocolatiers created the bunny for his son, who could not catch a real bunny in their garden. Has the form changed at all since then? I think not. I was reminded of something...

Ta Da. Does not dear Gold Bunny have a Brancusi feel to him/her? The simple clean lines. The poetry.

Lindt Gold Bunny watercolors have been multiplying this week...as bunnies are inclined to do. By the way the APRIL PARIS LETTER went out on Wednesday. Oregonians and Washingtonians, and not to forget Australians will get their Easter letter Before the 21...fingers crossed 🤞🏼🙏🏻🤞🏼

Thank you for reading and sharing Paris breakfasts. Subscription letters 💌maps and watercolors are in my Etsy shop. From 🇫🇷Paris 💋with love ❤️Xxx🐻
