Masterpieces from Paris

I went to see the 'Masterpieces from Paris' exhibition in Canberra.

Van Gogh

These priceless paintings are on loan to the National Gallery of Australia all the way from the Musée d'Orsay in France.

Degas

They were absoultely amazing to behold up close in real life. But don't try to take any photos - the guards will slap you on the wrist, stat.

Monet

I got to see the texture on the surface of the paintings - each and every brushstroke, which is not seen in printed copies of art books.

Pissarro

If you can't get to Paris, get yourself to Canberra!

It was well worth the day trip to Canberra (about 7 or 8 hours driving in total) and the hour-long wait to get inside the exhibition. And putting up with the dismal, rainy weather and getting soaked walking to and from the gallery!

Visit the exhibition's website here.

Incredible India

This peacock artwork is by prasadesign for his "Incredible India" advertising campaign.
I was absolutely struck by it's beautiful detail (and I love peacocks, they are so colourful!)

And check out the Tiger! Stunning. I would love both of these posters on my wall!

"Namaste India"

In Disguise: Raccoon Costume

This print is adorable and cheeky!

It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer sends a raccoon into Lisa's ballet studio to fetch packets of cigarettes and it grabs a wad of cash instead.
Homer disguises the raccoon with a black mask just like this one! Hehe!

FOUND VIA MELISSA LOVES > RACCOON COSTUME PRINT BY HISSS @ ETSY

Marie + Macarons = Perfect Parisian Pastels!

Marie Antoinette is possibly my most favourite movie ever.

I fell in love with the colour palette: perfect pastels.

In fact, this movie is pretty much chockers full of eye candy.

Gorgeous costumery and the SWEETS! Champagne and sugar tie this thing all together!

But the macarons. mmmMMMMMMmm! They are my absolute favourite part of it all.

I first stumbled across these delicious bites at ParisBreakfasts. She blogs regularly and faithfully (and slightly obsessedly) about the little delightful darlings.

She paints them, too. Check our her Etsy shop for other lovely watercolours.

Fancy sharing a pot of hot chocolate and some instant delights with me?
According to ParisBreakfasts, as a host, I must offer you the first macaron before choosing mine.
So do take one (but I want the chocolate one hehe!)
