Well, thanks, Debs ~ that's lovely! Hope you've had a grand holiday. I'll be over to say Hello shortly.

Sorry I haven't been in for a while - holidays and all.
This is by far my favourite of your paintings.

I'm beyond chuffed for several reasons:
There'll be another drawing tomorrow;
your wonderful and inspiring illo was featured (and rightly so) in Reading Habits;
I made it home to the Internet and can post this message here. (The countryside is great but I need my Internet!)
I hope you get to the Tour d'Argent some day, Shell—let's go together!

Now that's just ducky. The illustration, the humour, the hint of culture and high living, the book-reading advocacy, the whole lot. Every diner who gets a prime numbered duck should be invited back for a free meal.

Many thanks, Favourite Vintage Finds!

Stunning illo Shell and big congrats on being featured in Literacyhead! :)

2010-07-03T16:27:37.005+10:00

Thanks once again, dear Virginia! I couldn't have done it without you. ;)

Petrea ~ framed or unframed, it's a charming keepsake.

Hiker ~ {whistle} now, that's a bet.

Margaret ~ "good taste" ~ heh heh!

Thank you, le0pard13 ~ I'm happy you're enjoying it! And being on the small side, I often have an upward looking perspective. :)

Katie and Cali ~ with Amy, you and me, that makes four ducks saved from de-pression. We're on a roll, LOL! And I'll enjoy being back again on Tuesday...

Marylène ~ I'll be sure to remember your tip about the elevator! And I'm happy to cheer your rainy Saturday...

2010-07-03T16:12:14.355+10:00

Lots of information, 2 wonderful drawings (as always) for the price of one, nice memories brought to my mind about la Tour d'argent.
A pleasant experience I had once, nice food, a card of my duck too but I must confess I remember more of their amazing elevator than of the taste of the duck !!!
And the good news we'll enjoy your work twice a week again !!
You are making my rainy, stormy Saturday, Thanks.

You and Virginia are a winning team. La Tour d'Argent looks stunning. Think I'll pass on the duck.

Congrats! How exciting! Thank goodness there are enough books to go around.

2010-07-03T14:09:54.288+10:00

This black & white illustration of V's photo is awesome! I'd much rather buy your drawing than a duck dinner at Tour d'Argent. I also love your book illustration. That's exactly how I'd like to spend my summer! Awesome that it was chosen to appear at literacyheads. And yipee -- you'll be back on Tuesdays!

I really appreciate your wonderful illustration of...

2010-07-03T04:44:05.597+10:00

I really appreciate your wonderful illustration of La Tour d'Argent, Shell. The upward looking perspective and detail are what make it shine, for me anyways. Thanks so much for this.

Wow, Hiker, I need to start making bets like that....

2010-07-03T04:02:55.850+10:00

Wow, Hiker, I need to start making bets like that. If I know I can win, of course.

Congratulation on your accomplishment. What good ...

2010-07-03T02:31:40.511+10:00

Congratulation on your accomplishment. What good taste they have!

2010-07-03T02:21:28.773+10:00

Brilliantly funny write-up on La Tour D'Argent. I knew someone who won a bet and his friend had fly him to Paris and pay for a dinner at La Tour D'Argent. May we all have similar good fortune.

2010-07-03T01:38:40.879+10:00

I haven't framed it. But I haven't tossed it out, either.

2010-07-02T23:24:00.022+10:00

Oh dear Shell
Now I"M beyond chuffed that another one of my photos has been transformed by your delightful pen! I love the black and white as well.

Now those book folks know what they're doing choosing your clever design for their website. Bravo!

Bon weekend mon amie!

2010-07-02T23:19:58.623+10:00

Thanks, Amy ~ and I'm glad I forewarned you. ;) We have a long-standing arrangement here at home that meat comes from a meat tree.

Petrea ~ thank you! I'll keep working at it. And Wow. Did you frame it?

Congratulations! That's big, big, big. More to...

2010-07-02T15:45:02.993+10:00

Congratulations! That's big, big, big. More to come, no doubt about that.

Another charming illustration, Shell. Are you ever going to post a crappy one?

I had one of those ducks at Tour d'Argent. I kept the card. Let me look up the number. Dum de dum...ah! Here it is: "Le Numéro de votre Canard 1044106."

The card has reproduction of a painting entitled "Frédéric préparant son célèbre Canard."

2010-07-02T14:17:23.430+10:00

I knew I wasn't the only one who liked polishing things!

You know, I'm a carnivore, I enjoyed finely prepared fowl. But I like to eat my meat in ignorance of it having a name and a life prior to my plate. ;)

As ever, you have done an amazing job bring this photo to illustration.

And a HUGE congratulations on having your illustration included a publication. :D
