MIA! MIA! (Missing in action)
Remember breakfast at Café de Flore? This one was a struggle 🙀
You wouldn’t think so, since I already painted 2 other Paris cafe breakfasts 😬
But so many elements to grapple with,
Like that egg 🥚 cup
Which I shot in the wrong perspective 🙄 Things like that drive me nutz. Drawing ✍️ perspective is not my forté.
Somehow I forgot how to paint spoons!? Practice, practice. Use it or lose it…even with drawing ✏️ spoons 🥄
Café de Flore’s logo took some practice ✍️ It’s on every scrap of china ☕️ 🫖 in the place.
Adding their iconic waiters
Seemed a good idea 👍
I am signing off now.
Should always eat breakfast, here in Philadelphia, before reading your yummy reports from Paris. Also your inspiration for drawing most helpful as I'm studio organizing this morning. Thanks for your charming newsletter!
ReplyDeleteBonne Dimanche pour tois aussi, Carola, and enjoy your day in Normandie. Amitiés, Isabelle
ReplyDeleteI love how you're enjoying breakfast and painting it then taking off on the train for oysters for lunch. You know how to live, Carol! ADORE also how you notice the shoes, echoing your fascinating life story... the matching dog top and sandals - had me in stitches! Enjoy your trip. Bon dimanche and hope to see you soon, Jill x
ReplyDeleteI love everything about and in this post! Jane in England
ReplyDeleteAlways wonderful following your travels--thanks for sharing your artistic struggles --
ReplyDeleteYou nailed the Cafe de Flore. Your practice paid off. Bravo. So glad you found more strawberries, but, my favorite from Trouville is the tea towels. Such a bright post.
