Paint Party Friday....Paris in the Springtime.....or shall I say Laduree in the Springtime.....

Hi Everyone.....

I hope you all had a lovely week filled with inspiration....we had another winter storm and I am so ready for Spring.....so I have been painting as inspired by Paris in the Spring time...especially Ladurée and their magical Spring windows.......

Here is an ink and watercolor piece I created as my homage to Spring in Paris with Macarons for everyone....

I am in love with all things Paris and I have a whole section of Paris inspired art in my Etsy Shop to prove it.....and this is my newest print in that section....

I hope you all have an amazing Friday and start to the weekend....

Happy PPF and Happy Creating Everyone....

Paint Party Friday.....meet me for some Macarons.....

Hi Everyone....

Just wanted to share some of my new paintings and photos with you.....the new pieces are pyrography and paint as inspired by these scrumptious bites from one of my favorite cities...in one of my favorite cities.........they are so pretty and scream Paris...

I was lucky enough to pop in the Laduree Shop in New York City while I was there last weekend and I sampled some lovely and delightful macarons...Amazing that these are flown in from Paris every other day....and they are Happiness in a super cute package....I love everything about this shop and the decor whisks you away to Paris in a heartbeat.....

I would love to run one of these shops close to home....I guess we all can dream a little bit!

In the meantime I will keep drawing and painting and eating Macarons!!!!

Happy PPF and Happy Creating Everyone....

Pick one ....anyone!!!! How do you like your French Macarons?

Hi Everyone....

I don't know what it is.....but often times I find myself creating paintings as inspired by all things Parisian.....like these delightful treats called Macarons....I think anything in small pretty packages makes me happy.....and colours...anything that is created in colour makes me feel so happy too....

I have a new French Macaron  piece titled.....Pick one....anyone? or shall I say it in French....

"choisir une, personne"

I just added prints of this painting to my Main Shop.....hope you pick one up...would make a fun art piece in any kitchen.....or sweet little girl's room.....
 
We just celebrated our Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and it was so much fun to share in festivities with family.....we even went around the dinner table telling everyone what we are most Thankful for...it was touching and sweet......

Thank you all for being here!!!

Happy Tuesday and Happy Creating Everyone....

Let them eat Macarons!

Hi Everyone....I am a bit early to the Paint Party Friday event this week....but can you blame a girl....I just got a shipment of my watercolour paper from France and I was so excited when the courier came that he thought I may have lost my mind....

So what better things to paint on French paper....than a special Ladurée window featuring some colourful and fun treats....so here is my latest watercolour painting....these colours just make me so happy.....

Have you been to Paris and enjoyed a treat at Ladurée? ......and did you know that Ladurée is a luxury cakes and pastries brand based in Paris, France. It is known as the inventor of the double-decker macaron, fifteen thousand of which are sold every day. (That is amazing) They are still one of the best known makers of macarons in the world. I am selling the original painting in my Etsy Shop and prints too.....if you want to see some cute illustrations you have to check out their site....adorable!!!!!!

I am also working on a whole bunch of new watercolour cut out Paris inspired cards.....my shop is running low so I had to!!! these are so much fun to create!

amazing how some special art supplies can make ones week so happy!!!! oh and if you read my blog and love it....you can vote for me.......
