The flower paintings in this notebook were painted in Paris between November 7 and December 1, 1990. Two studies of the mascarons from the Pont Neuf were done at the Musee Carnavalet on November 30, 1990. There are twelve more studies of mascarons done from a collection of photographs also obtained from the Museé Carnavalet. Because I liked the paper in this notebook, I continued filling it with drawings (upon my return to New York City). The entire notebook contains work executed between November 7, 1990 and January 4, 1991.
