This work is a continuation of the series that started with the ‘Reflections’ self portrait. It shows people waiting in Mo’s Fish and Chip shop for their Friday night takeaway. It's also a self portrait. The centre figure is inside the shop and the two women are on the outside looking in. It was a very complicated composition, both in terms of how the reflections work within the logical space, and making the colour balance work to allow the viewer to understand the painting.

The challenge of paintings like this is to show the difference between all the layers of reflections while also having the painting make sense as a single object. This is what makes this series so interesting to work on for an artist.
