Paint Party Friday.....machine à boule de gomme

Hi Everyone...

Happy Friday...I seriously don't know where the week has gone! It must have been a fun once since it flew by in the blink of an eye....I was wondering what to paint this week and then it hit me....how much I love those vintage inspired Gum Ball Machines......even better the ones you find in Paris....called "machine à boule de gomme" .......so here it is .....my ink and watercolour of a Parisian Gum Ball Machine.....I think it is tres bien and so much fun!

I have added prints of this painting in my shop....I think they would be so much fun in the kitchen or any fun room of the house....

Have a super amazing Day and Weekend Everyone....

Happy Paint Party Friday and Happy Creating Everyone...

What a great gum ball machine. They are awesome. I have a gum ball machine but don't know where to get the gum for it. Great piece Diana, as always. Happy PPF!

I love this cheerful painting! I've always loved gum ball machines, too, though I haven't seen one in Paris..yet! I'm amazed by all of the detail you got on the decorative metal part of the machine. Great job!

This is so candy cute, really like the colours and the way they sing. Definitely one for a bright clean kitchen!

I can hear the clink of my penny in your lovely machine. Probably takes more than a penny (and the gum balls are smaller) today. Beautifully done!

I always smile when I see your work. Really wonderful painting and brings back a lot of memories for me (mostly of my crying and carrying on when mom wouldn't let me have money for the gumballs) LOL HPPF
