Original watercolor 6” x 8”
Ice cream 🍨 is always a good 👍 idea
Even though I’m not supposed to have much sugar=hives.
Just as I was racing to meet
Shannon, (of divine Chocolate 🍫 classes in castles).
And me, I’m thinking maybe I’ll have ONE small scoop of
plain Vanilla…
While Shannon is thinking 🤔 of COUPE
Somehow I ate the better part of Both coups 😳 🍨 🍨
They serve nice minted water 💧 at Le Bac…which we both imbibed.
Awww… “the best laid plans of mice 🐭 and (wom)men”
Shannon took a picture of me hugging a girl’s best friend ❤️
I look Very happy 😃
I spent the weekend multi-painting 🎨 the elusive coupes 🍨 like Monet’s hay stacks.
With NO 🛑 ICE CREAM 🍦 breaks.
Do you have a favorite?
Plus swimming 🏊🏽♀️ at piscine Pontoise.
Between all the
CHEESE 🧀 and all the ice cream 🍨 maybe I should go swimming 🏊🏽♀️ every day this week…
What do you think? 🤔
Oh Carol, you’re always so full of information!! Now I know where the name Peach Melba came from!! Your paintings are divine and that coupe on the Limoge plate is the stroke of brilliance! One which I will steal in the future! Shannon looks so beautiful as usual! Love from 🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteDame Nellie Melba was an Australian operatic lyric coloratura soprano. She became one of the most famous singers of the late Victorian era and the early twentieth century, and was the first Australian to achieve international recognition as a classical musician.
Delete*She took the pseudonym "Melba" from Melbourne, her home town.
