A very exciting exhibition has opened in Paris at the Musée d’Orsay: “Paris 1874 Inventing Impressionism”. You will not see Claude Monet’s “Weeping Willow” pictured here, because it currently hangs in the Kimbell Art Museum- but you will see many other incredible works, organized to re-create the day, 150 years ago, on April 15, 1874, when the very first exhibition of the Impressionist movement opened. On display until July 14! Are you wondering about other cool things happening in Paris? Or other French/Paris inspired events happening in the US? You can check out my monthly newsletter (see the link in bio) and sign up! No spam, and no icky politics or controversy… I promise. Just a monthly round up of books, art exhibitions, design, architecture, food, fashion… all with a Paris theme! . . . . #paris #gscinparis #gscinparisdesign #france #francetourisme #visitparis🇫🇷 #visitparis #visitparisofficial #parisienne #parisbucketlist #frenchculture🇫🇷 #frenchfood #europetravel #europe_vacations #europedestinations #italy🇮🇹 #italianfood #cookbook #frenchcuisine🇫🇷 #italiancuisine🇮🇹 #frenchfashion #art #artexhibition #design #labellevie @museeorsay @kimbellartmuseum

Artist Lindsay Goodwin’s latest show will be taking place at the Jones and Terwilliger Gallery on March 9th in Palm Desert! Looking at artist Lindsay Goodwin’s “Les Deux Magots” transports me directly to Paris on a beautiful spring day. The details: iron balconies on a Haussman builidng, waiters in long aprons, rustling green leaves on the trees, can’t you just smell it? She expertly captures scenes from Paris - from iconic restaurants to chateaux and other beautiful spots around France. Also shown here, “Sirens of Le Train Bleu” and “The Fountain of Saigon France”. These works and many more are available through the Jones and Terwilliger gallery. For more about Ms. Goodwin, and more examples of her stunning work, head to my post, link in bio.

I’m coming to you with a list of interesting opportunities for artists, architects, writers and creators who are looking for opportunities to advance their art and career through a variety of exciting residences, fellowships, grants and more. Descriptions of the opportunities are from their websites. Go to my link-in-bio for all the details! For the cover image here, I chose Pierre Bonnard’s “Femmes au Jardin” multi-panel work completed in 1891, as seen in the Musée d’Orsay Summer 2023. Not only a beautiful painting, the French Impressionist originally intended this as a functional screen and incorporated elements of Japanese printing. So, you have elements of visual arts, decorative arts and even fashion, all in one. Head to my link-in-bio for more info and good luck! . . . #artist #writers #architects #designers #creators #opportunities #fellowships #grants #residencies

Ah, Firenze! One of the coolest things I saw was a hundreds-year old workshop where statues and artwork on display in the incredible Duomo are restored. The city is an architecture-lover’s dream! . . . #firenze #firenze🇮🇹 #visitfirenze_official #florence #florenceitaly🇮🇹 #italy #visititaly🇮🇹 #tuscany #tuscanygram #catholicarchitecture #ilduomo #ilduomodifirenze #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #travel #travelblog #architectureblog #visitflorence

Bonjour, friends! Travel update: so, a month or so ago, an airline, who I still love but will not name, made a disastrous decision to make major changes to their loyalty program, which will significantly and negatively impact those who have been very loyal customers for a very long time. In a brilliant marketing move, @jetblue (as well as a few other airlines) made a play for those of us lost, frequent fliers, with no place to go. I have not flown with Jet Blue much, but today’s experience has been great: ON TIME departure, EARLY arrival, super happy, friendly employees, great customer service. And they all dressed up for Halloween! If you are on your way to the next great art, architecture or cultural trip, I’m just passing the tip on. 😉 . . . #jetblue #jetblueairways #notapaidpromotion #butitshouldbe #travel #travelblog #gscinparisdesign #gscinparis #lax #slc #greatmarketing #fora #foratraveladvisor
