Le Géant des Beaux-Arts, Boesner, Mamie Gateaux Brocante, Marché Bastille, Wice Writers Workshop

 Yesterday I went to Géant des Beaux Arts in the 11th to get bigger watercolor paper

I want to loosen up 🤸‍♂️

And paint tulips 🌷 I got in the rain on Sunday at marché Bastille

I’ve been doing watercolor warmups on envelopes 💌 backs.

And parrots 🦜 🦜🦜 got in the mix

But I’m getting ahead. Géant is a big warehouse of art goodies. Bus 69 stops exactly in front 👍

When you’re done shopping, cross the street, get back on bus 69 for 3 stops 

For my favorite Paris art shop

Much smaller Boesner, with better sales & bigger watercolor selection 👏 Bus 69 drops you right in front here too.

Did I mention I met Solli last week for another look at Mamie Gateaux Brocante? They had maybe the first pressure cooker ever with guide book!

I finally got Mamie Gateaux’s delightful teapot 🫖 

To paint…

Meredith Mullins asked me to tell you about Paris Writers Workshop The longest running literary program of its kind in Paris. Past attendees say it’s an inspiring week in the City of Light because it offers a a dynamic community of writers and literary agents—to learn, to write, to network, to energize your literary goals, and just to have fun.

Mark your calendars for June 2nd - June 7th, when Paris weather is perfect for creativity and writing. This year 6 masterclasses will be led by renowned authors, each a specialist in their field. The workshop will be held at Columbia University’s beautiful Reid Hall campus in the heart of literary Paris 5, on the left bank. This historic location offers pleasant rooms for afternoon masterclasses, an auditorium for the evening panel discussions, & a lovely garden for gatherings. Early bird registration is open now!
