Paris Sizzle

Street at Night in Paris

I love this shot that James took of a beautiful street at night in Paris. One of the things I loved about the trip was there were so many people out walking late at night. Even at 11-12:00pm, lots of people were sitting in outdoor cafes, walking around with friends...and just enjoying the night lights of the city.

Have a fun weekend and create a little sizzle of your own!

Ahhh, Paris!

Returned from Paris late last Friday, the 15th. What an incredible trip! I'm back in body but I don't think my mind and spirit have landed on American soil just yet!

Next week, I will be up and running in full work mode. For now, I'm easing back into reality and dreaming about a week of beautiful sights and memories.

In the meantime...here are a few photos I hope you enjoy. See you soon!

Paris rocks!

I've been off the blog for a bit...working in the studio on two new abstract paintings. The picture above is part of a large 30" x 30" I'm wrestling with. My communication with the canvas is going up and down, back and forth...and I'm not getting what I want yet. Hopefully a little vacation will ignite some new ideas!

James and I are heading to Paris for a week! Some very generous friends of ours have invited us to stay with them in a beautiful apartment they bid on and won in an auction. We will all stay there for five days...then they fly home. James and I will stay on in a hotel for three more days. We've never been to Paris...so I'm sure we're in for a visual feast!

I'll be back in the studio after the 15th. I hope to have some wonderful pictures to share with you then. Bye for now...xox!
