Poppy's Paris Adventure

 Poppy chose Fashion for her Letter F Page of her Paris Alphabet book.
Poppy and her mother were very lucky to obtain tickets to a fashion show in the fashion capital of the world.


 Bella and her daughter both agree Coco Chanel is their favorite French designer.


 Of course, Giverny...home of Monet's Gardens...was Poppy's choice for the Letter G.  As former head gardener of Monet's Gardens, Eloise DuPont knows all about Giverny and Page G will be very special for both granddaughter and grandmother.


 Bella helped Poppy with her Letter H Page subject material.
Hermes is a store founded in Paris in 1837 and known for its unique and quite beautiful scarves.


 Poppy thought some of the scarves were illustrated history lessons.


 And then there were scarves that looked like works of art!


 Poppy just knew the Letter I page had to be all about Impressionism...a 19th century art movement created by Paris-based artists.
Monet's lily paintings represent the free flowing and natural light characteristics representative of Impressionism.
Poppy's grandfather is an artist and spent many years working in the Louvre Museum, so he was her go-to person for the Letter I Page.


 How Poppy wishes she could join the ballet class in the well known Degas painting.


Poppy has decided Pissarro's paintings are her favorites.  This painting looks like Pixel Art!

The days are speeding by for Poppy and her days are very full gathering information for her Paris Alphabet Book...which our little author/artist LOVES creating!
