EDM 85 Store
Although this grocery store is not exactly local, I really wanted to sketch it from the moment Charles and I walked into it in Marsala, Sicily. The fresh vegetables, cheese, meat, fruits, olive oils, and array of bright cans and pastas -- we took photographs without even knowing why! It was just the kind of store we long for but cannot find anywhere near us. So I offer this as my 'local' store -- since it is close to my HEART than close in proximity!

Oh, I know these sorts of stores, Aladdin's Caves full of all sorts of amazing Italian foods! Why doesn't the imported stuff ever taste as wonderful as that bought in Italy? I'm jealous of your Italian blood!! Beautiful illustration, it just captures it perfectly!
What a great store and a lovely sketch! I also love really full specialty food shops that are just a profusion of colors
Oh my gosh, you have made this a place of beauty! I want to go there also!! Beautiful colors.
Lin, This is truly SENSATIONAL!!!!!
WOW, It's even more than sensational only I can not invent super descriptive words like you can. ;)
You should visit here in Melbourne, dozens of these little Italian deli's.
Great job Lin and what a FUN store...
Oh wonderful. Your drawing takes me right there. Lovely. I can see why you were 'drawn' to the place. :o)
Lin, I love this drawing. Captures the whole feel of the venue and brings back some great memories of Italian markets.
This is a wonderful painting of a beautiful store!
I love all the colors and details. I bet it was fun to draw. Did it bring back the smells and sounds as you were drawing? This is really different from your containers and water and flowers but is done really well.
Love your storefronts. I know what you mean about something being "close" to your heart. Your local storefront is great also.
