Window of Chocolate Shop in Bergamo, Italy Painting

I was walking past a chocolatier in Bergamo and was absolutely fascinated by the window display. Not only did the originality of the Alice in Wonderland presentation interest me, I was electrified by the multiple perspectives of the resulting photo that I took. What I mean by multiple perspectives is: what is in the shop behind the display, the display itself, the reflection of sunlight on the shop window glass in front of the display and the reflection of other imagery on the window glass. In this particular case, you inevitably see me taking the photo in the reflection, but more often than not, buses, passerbys and even trams can be seen in the end products. The photo I took for this painting was meticulously copied onto the canvas in pencil before I began to paint. This attention to detail comes from my previous very precise training in architectural drafting. After the canvas is "prepared", painting begins all the while paying attention to perspective. A "rest" is then needed, before the final touches of highlights and lines of different thickness are added. My brush strokes are often, but not always, "painterly". I try to stay as true as possible to the photos that I work with.
