Bewley’s Café, Grafton Street, Dublin – 523

This acrylic painting looks down Grafton Street towards Trinity College, with Bewley’s Café lighting up the foreground. I wanted the café to really shine out on a dreary day, tempting you to step inside, put away the umbrella and warm up over a cup of its distinctive coffee.

The yellows and oranges of the windows contrast with the cool blues outside, carrying that warmth into the reflections on the wet street. I hoped the colours would do the inviting!
