Maitresse says I "visually trope". I figuratively jump from subject to subject finding connections. We call it "scatter brained". The French call itDu coq à l'âne. M./Lauren Elkin is a writer, critic, blogger, scholar.
I love the details at Payard Patisserie. Look down and see tea cups on the floor. Look up and molded croissants in the ceiling.
I was early so I ordered Mint tea and waited...enfin Maitress arrived
We laid our cards on the table first thing...Our MOO Cards!Hers are all of Venice and mine are all macarons
Maitresse/Lauren drank Earl Grey..she's in from Paris for just a few days.
Payard Macarons and Cherries, original watercolor, 9" x 12"
I love all the yellow striped boxes and ribbons and cards atPayard

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris breakfasts.
I hope you have a safe and happy holiday and a great new year!
