This was a commission for a private collector here in Singapore. One of his fondest memories of Singapore is the Sunday brunches. They are these very elaborate affairs with huge cheese bars, oysters from all over the world, not to mention the free-flowing champagne (or house drinks) and the impressive spread of desserts. Really, it is an incredibly decadent affair. Most of the major hotels here sponsor them, but none of them can match the ambience that you have at the Raffles Hotel in the Billiards room, which is the one this collector chose to show. I wound up having such a great time with this piece; the perspective was lots of fun to work with, although quite the challenge!

Whew, busy busy week. I got to do some "research" on Tuesday at the Raffles Billiards room. I'm working on a commission for a client of the Billiards Room, which is where they have these fantastic (and super expensive) weekend brunches. Raffles Hotel is the one of the oldest hotels in Singapore, and is really where you can find the strongest traces of old British Colonial style. It has as much history as you can get in Singapore, and is home of the Singapore Sling. It has some fantastic food, which I very much enoyed while taking some photos for this painting.
