Café de Flore Paris Letter

 

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 👍 

ON ETSY with small sketch included.

The August letter is going out immediately, Instantly! 

Except for a wee interruption…I managed to find a ticket 🎫

To Trouville/Deauville 🤸‍♂️ I’ll keep you posted as my day goes.

First things first

A visit to the Poissonnierie for

Huitres 🦪 oysters for breakfast (17€) A shot of iron never hurts 👍

*Save the lemon 🍋 slices to cleanse your hands, instead of those horrid chemical packets. The brown, grainy bread ‘pain Nordique’ I brought at Feuillette boulangerie. Now I’m off to look for the strawberry 🍓 guy.

TA DA. HOORAY Found him in the marché Deauville

And I found his twin or bro is at the Trouville marché.

Nice veg.

Nice tea towels.

Nice matching at the marché.

Home-made sparking apple 🍎 juice looks so temping.

Grilled lobster !!🦞 (45€) just browsing, not eating

More browsing…
