Nougat


French nougat with toasted almonds, pistachios, and lavender honey.

As I drew this nougat I decided that the happiest I've ever been is a toss up between my time in Paris and my time on the beach in Thailand. Both had to do with being in flow, but for very different reasons. Paris was external, playful and magical, beautiful objects and sensory delights at every turn. I loved walking, walking, walking, exploring every detail of the city that shared my very aesthetic. But Thailand was internal, all desire for anything "more" erased by turquoise blue seas and silky white sand. Should I go get a banana shake now, or later? Later. And both felt right.
