Another break painting. I had never heard of this artist but I wander if he’s an ancestor of Chef Paul Prudhomme?

2019-16 Gracious Bakery chocolate

No photos but my brother and sister in law brought 2 king cakes to the parade route on carnival day. It was so cold that we all needed the extra fuel.
