You had me with the peaches but that puree of strawberries, icing sugar, whipped cream and brandy sounds like it might be life-altering. We are getting lots of great California and western Canadian produce in stores here now, so every day I am eating peaches and nectarines and plums too.<br /><br />I love the poem. What a perfect line, &quot;the round jubilance of peach&quot;. The peaches in paper bags reminded me of my father, who was always picking something not quite ripe from the garden (tomatoes mostly) and putting it in the cupboard in a paper bag to ripen. :)<br /><br />And Paulette Tavormina is a genius. I wonder if she finds a lot of butterflies on the street in New York? But there must be bounty for her at the farmer and flower markets! I&#39;d love to visit her studio.<br /><br />A lovely wandering post that has got me thinking in all sorts of directions...<br /><br />Thanks Diane!<br /><br />xo Terri<br /><br />Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-38790660087856763712013-08-07T10:18:31.541-07:002013-08-07T10:18:31.541-07:00Dear Carol-<br /><br /><br />Yes, a book.<br /><br />Paulette&#39;s work--which so beautifully references the Dutch Masters--is absolutely perfect in its style and perfection. She&#39;s not merely &#39;copying&#39; but rather taking the paintings and going much further into another realm. Her style and elegance bring it all into the present day. Each petal, every detail, every placement are all perfect.<br />Carol--I send you my best from California to Paris!<br />Thank you for your lovely comments, DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-76315388007720832422013-08-07T10:16:18.829-07:002013-08-07T10:16:18.829-07:00Dear Karen and Helen-<br /><br /><br />You are right--Paulette&#39;s work belongs in a museum.<br /><br />She does show at galleries and some of them are listed on her website.<br /><br />best DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-46561427632726421992013-08-07T09:32:44.325-07:002013-08-07T09:32:44.325-07:00Just exquisite in everyway<br />Her photographs are sumptuous <br />Plus the poem and the recipe<br />Isn&#39;t THIS a book?<br />I&#39;d buy it.Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-67551822203877885372013-08-05T16:36:58.796-07:002013-08-05T16:36:58.796-07:00Hello Diane,<br /><br />Those images of the still live stone fruits are superb and how beautifully arranged ready for an artist to paint. The lady bug on the fruit is appealing.
