It's About the Butter

After the Rain, 12 x 12

Well, it IS!  We have been in Paris for a little over 2 weeks, enjoying all of everything on our one-month holiday here.  Not a bad bite of food yet, and I have really gotten into the swing of things, in many ways, but especially dining.  Even for breakfast, the creamy French butter is so nice on a piece of my favorite type of baguette, called "baguette aux cereales," which has lots of seeds and things.  And then there is the petite sandwich, which always has butter and jambon with fromage, etc.  Later on, at le diner, usually most dishes are cooked in, sauced with, and taste so good because of:  butter!   It's been said that oil paint is like colored butter, though the few studies I've posted here look like I might have just used butter itself, as pale yellow predominates!

I am enjoying my mini Coulter easel, as it sets up quickly in our tiny apartment.  The apartment seems larger, though, since it has a huge north window, high ceilings, lots of mirrors, and best of all, just a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower, all sparkly at night!  La vie est belle....
