Pulling The Narrative Together

I do like longer, wider formats: they seem to tell a story as the viewer moves from left to right. Here, I enjoy finding the smaller scenes inside the building— one on the left, the other on the right. It's the one on the right that I spent the morning working on; a chef appears to be engrossed in his work while the young man passes by outside. But on the whole, this will be a much better painting once I get the tree branches established.
