Yesterday while you were munching your way through Patisserie des Reves goodies, I was at The White House painting Bo's portrait. Only kidding. But I was in Washington DC.
Visiting the DC Alliance Francaise.
I will be exhibiting the Paris Facade watercolors there in September 2010.
After measuring and picture-taking I was hungry, so I dropped into Bistro Du Coin nearby.
A little closeup on my soup d'onion lurking somewhere under this blanket of melted gruyere.
Then I ran to The Phillips Collection.
For a quick race around.
Before running off to catch the bus back to New York.

More news and the contest!I will have an exhibit of the Paris Facades at The James Beard Foundation in May-June of 2010.
It will be in their Greenhouse Gallery
Now for background and hints:
The Greenhouse Gallery exhibits the works of up-and-coming and established artists who work with culinary themes. Providing artists with a space to show their work not only enhances the overall ambience of the room during events, it’s also in keeping with the Foundation’s mission to celebrate, preserve, and nurture America’s culinary heritage and diversity. Past exhibits have featured mouthwatering food photography, romantic watercolors of mealtime still lifes, and exuberant mixed-media collages.

THE PRIZE!
is this watercolor if you can come up with a catchy, witty title for the show that incorporates food and Paris. The people at the Beard House are foodies in the food biz and they probably love Paris (who doesn't?)
How can I catch their attention?
I'm tossing the ball in your park.
Here are some of the crumby titles I came up with:
