A box of Chocolate Prailines



A Box of Chocolate Prailines- n°59
private collection


 What better thing to eat on a rainy winter day.  I had to go down around the corner to Jadis Gourmand 
The problem was which ones to choose!  The perfume of cocoa is so overwhelming, not for the weak and meak.  I love chocolate!

34 Notre Dame de Paris - an original oil painting by Angie Brooksby

Notre Dame de Paris - n°34
This painting is signed "Figé" and was painted in 2007 as a color study for a large painting that is now part of the Gables Collection Villa Rosa in Dallas, Texas.  Figé was a pseudonym that I used the last years I lived in Florence.  It is pronounced fi-gay.  Unfortunately in France it is a terrbile name for an artist the way it is written it means "stuck."  So I dropped it and went back to Brooksby.

31 the Brioche Coupé

The smell was phenomenal and hard to not devour.  This kind of thing needs a round burgundy for company. No wine with painting - it had to wait.
