Molissana is a small deli with fresh pasta, sauce, and deli meats. I tried shopping there a few times but discovered that it is actually a social club for Italian ladies. They show up as soon as the store open and chit chat for eight hours while sampling deli meat. So if you show up to try and buy something then too bad, unless you want to chit chat and stand there for hours. At least the facade is interesting, the slight off-white bricks contrast well with the grey surroundings, and the ochre coloured roof is a challenging shade of orange green neutral.
On location, the perspective will change depending on where you are looking. Looking at a building this on a 45 degree position I see both sides and the there are two vanishing points. If I look to my right there is one vanishing point. I was thinking about this lately, and concluded that I must look at the same point as I establish the drawing elements. It worked okay here, the perspective on the building looks about right. Its something I worked on a lot the past few years.
