More Summer whites for the weekend, even if they predict stormy weather...Painting white objects is no piece of cake it turns out...Hmmmm
I am up the whazoo with gateaux blanche here thanks to my greediness for mini this and that..
Here's Laduree's version of a Mozartian white wedding gateau...*Note the 2 shades of white - cream plus a little touch of pink - the heart!
When there's a transportation strikes in Paris you discover new things! Like these fabulous and gorgeous ceramic pear sculptures...
The pears sit in Restaurant Benoit's windows on 20, rue St. Martin, noted for it's turn-of-the-century Belle Epoque bistrot decor.
And artichokes...
This handsome huge snail resides in L'Escargot's window on rue Montorgueil...
Another Benoit window display..So what's the point of all this white?
Well that's just it! There is a lot of color in white. Warm and cool colors depending... White is the combination of all colors of the visible light spectrum.
Like these tarts from PAUL Boulangerie are warm in tone...
And there is a bit of blue and warm tones in this gelato.Gelato for breakfast anyone? I hope it's lemon...
White roses are the perfect color subject...
As Henri Fantin-Latour demonstrates in this lush still life painting.
Talk about lush whites..This Illy poster was outside my front door in Paris and I was ever amazed by all the colors!
Now it's your turn. Name some colors you see in all these whites!
BONJOUR BLANCHE!!
