Blue Skies and Gold

A really beautiful spring day.

Industrious


Spring is the time of plans and projects ― Leo TolstoyAnna Karenina 
Beautiful whites on the corner of Cardinal Lemoine and Rue Monge
I am feeling that a lot truth very strongly right now! I want to cook ambitious meals, make beautiful little things, sew something, make a hardboard, plant a garden, read a million books, explore new areas - everything. I crave being literally productive. Plus, I am very stimulated in this incredible city. Yet, I'm incapable of starting everything it is inspiring me to do - I don't have the means here! It is something I am really excited about upon my return to the states.!

Musee d'Orsay on a Sunday

I can't describe to you how happy it makes me to be able to casually (and for free!) visit the Musee d'Orsay on a Sunday.

Maximilien Luce - La Seine a Herblay
I am always so enamored with impressionism and post-impressionism. And just how much of these movements that I love so much were born in the city where I live. The neo-impressionism really drew me in today. The technique of using small separated dots of color, this decomposition, enabled the artists to make colors vibrate, by juxtaposing complementary shades and to modulate colors to achieve a particular luminosity.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Brown paper packages tied up with strings...
Laduree macarons, flower crowns, birthdays .
And a Mr. M by my side.
