Inspired by Hockney: 3 French Shops

A commission I really wanted, but couldn't quite figure out the angle. At last, inspiration struck when I remembered that little French shop picture by Hockney, Alimentation – Go ogle it, it's well sweet – and it seemed I could exploit his treatment of this mysterious isolated little building.
These are rough sketches, but I hope the finished articles have the same cheeky sense of style.
