Small miracles -- on the road again

I am quite moved today thinking about reuniting
with my painting Breakfast at the Skylight Diner
at the Carrousel du Louvre Art Shopping show
this weekend at the Louvre in Paris!

Most of the time I am thinking 15 steps ahead
of myself, and don't often reflect on how amazing
this painting job is.  But it's quite delightful that
a romantic breakfast with my husband in a
diner in New York City on Mother's Day a
year ago is taking me right across the ocean
to Paris.

It seemed to take forever to paint that breakfast.
I agonized over the French toast.  And I know
I kept thinking -- it's one breakfast (but
such a beautiful one).

First stop Paris

A few years ago I painted one of my favourite
models in a work called First Stop Paris,
thinking that it might somehow come true
for her.  I hope it did, because she grew up
and I lost touch.  But now I am going.  In
fact today.  You may be reading this as I
cross the wide Atlantic.  I hope that I can
blog from Paris.

Meanwhile.  Have a wishing for miracles day.
