"The Bakery" Work in Progress #2

Three days of work on The Bakery
by April M Rimpo

The image at right shows my progress at the end of the third painting session. You can see one finished loaf of bread in the bakery, in the lower left of the painting. I can assure you that these bakers have been busy and much more bread is yet to come. 

The woman is essentially complete but the male baker is far from finished. The frame of the storefront window is starting to come to life, but there are many details left.

I like the warmth of the painting, but do believe I'll want to pull some of the cool violet in the back of the store toward the front to keep the painting from getting too monotonous. 

You might wonder what the rectangle in from of the man is. That is the beginning of some glare on the window pane.  I'm not sure I like the location of the glare and  I may eliminate it as I progress on the painting.
