This is a view of my step-brother and his wife’s cafe in St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex (on the south coast of the UK). I once posted a sketch I had done of it and decided to give them a more finished version.
The orange awning on the outside gives a great counterpoint to the cooler colours of the interior. Also the art deco decorations of the window and door make a great subject matter in themselves, though they are a bugger to draw.
The shop was once a dairy and has a decorated plaster ceiling and black and white chequered floor tiles on the outside along with other features.
John, my step brother, is stood talking to a customer by the doorway replete in his pork-pie hat.

Such a lovely atmosphere. The color makes me feel the seaside air. Relaxed and undemanding.

Thanks Yul. Its a great place to visit if you’re in the vicinity. They serve Filipino fusion food and it seems to be going down well.

Nice painting, I like how you painted the people and furniture, and you really captured the blue indoor lighting well.

Thanks Tiffany. They are getting too successful and find it’s difficult to get time off – but you cant have it all-ways.
