Original artwork description:

Tucked away in the south of France, in a street that smells of dust and lavender and soap is a little shop, a perfect little shop, selling chocolate and confectionary, scenting the entrance with sweetness, enticing us, bewitching us. As the sacred hour of lunch approaches, the streets clear, leaving me alone in the strong heat. I want to capture the shadow and the light, to immortalize it.
This work is rich in colour and mood, seeped in mystery too. A perfect gift, a wonderful souvenir of France.
Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.
