#175 Confiture and Breakfast Tea, original watercolor, 9" x 12"
When a girl goes off to Paris, she's got to have a decent spoon to take along...
A decent knife and fork is fine to bring.
But if she plans to paint Parisien still lifes she also needs a decent spoon.
#174 French Breakfast Tea and Toast, original watercolor, 9" x 12"
And it has to be the right size to go with the rest of her china..
I was hoping this spoon would be the ONE!
NOT!
Too fussy and not your everyday kind of spoon at all...
Look at any good painter's work and you'll see plenty of spoons.
Here Wayne Thiebaud tosses some nice spoons around...
Master still life artist, Fantin-Latour knew a good spoon when he saw it and he knew what to do with it.
The all-time master spoon artist is of course Chardin..
A PB reader suggested that perhaps here is evidence of an early macaron next to this perfectly painted cup...?
I did a little spoon research yesterday. There are all manner of spoons.
It's just that Rement miniatures is not very strong on spoons...
There are souvenir spoons, Sipping spoons, Serving spoon, Absinthe spoons, Caviar spoons, egg spoons, cocaine spoons, grapefruit spoons, marrow spoon, ladles, sipping spoon, salt spoon, runcible spoons to name just a few. A silver spoon is given to a newborn child to ensure good fortune; used as a metaphor for someone born to riches. A Love spoon is a carved wooden spoon given as a token of betrothal. By the way Eric Piatkowski is the master of playing the spoons.
I remembered noticing this toy shop window on 1, rue Cassette at Il Etait Une Fois (Once Upon A Time)
And you can find a similar Lady Bug set of silverware with matching teaset on Amazon...
I was supposed to be doing my taxes yesterday. But a small diversion from taxes never hurt anyone and enfin I found the perfect spoon on Ebay.
Little Bear will just have to wait till they arrive...
Ice cream scoop...mini shovel...honey swizzle stick...soup spoon...ladle...Hmmm...
