Yesterday was major. I got my walking papers to venture back into the Big Apple (with a cane but I'm now allowed to climb up the stairs alternate steps instead of one-step-at-a-time!)
YAHOO
A chance to return to the Pastry Sketch Crawl begun in late January...
With some reservations bien sur...
NO sitting for hours on end (that upended me into a sciatica episode)...
Back to tres chic Cafe Petrossian.
Though Lord knows why I picked out exactly the SAME tarte as last fateful visit...
I must have a deep hidden attraction to strawberries...
If not to pate brisee crust. I only stayed a half hour and sketched a bit. No point tempting the Gods of Sciatica again.
I returned home to paint in bed...
This seems to be a lucky painting spot for me along with Nom de la Rose teas...

I could not resist a quick look in Bergdorf Goodman's windows...
At some 'tartie' shoes I may never venture out in again (not that I did in the past...ahem) Farewell M. Louboutin :(
Mais BONJOUR PASTRY SKETCH CRAWL Encore!!!

Au nom de la Rose Sketch, Watercolor at Etsy, 6" x 9"
~
Since I cannot yet make it out to sketch in New York's Frenchie pastry salons (with my whacked back) I thought at the very least I would bring in a few elements to help get me into fighting shape for mid-March Paris...
i.e. The rose and strawberry still life setup.
A macaron candle comes in handy at last!
I must be ready to face up to Paris' best tartes!
Strawberries have no season in Paris...
Just as roses can ALWAYS be found at Au Nom de la Rose...

French fraise sketch Where aire you look...
Les fraises abound...
Fantin-Latour certainement knew how to paint up a plate full of fraises...
Artist shop, Sennelier too is fond of the almight red berry...
But beware the gigantic Fraise-Tagada - faux strawberry-flavored in name only!
BONJOUR FRAISES!
