This pastry painting by Elias Montoya looks straight into a patisserie window from the sidewalk. A striped mint-and-cream awning with a scalloped edge hangs overhead, and behind the glass a cream layer cake crowned with blueberries sits on the top tier of a stand, above rows of pink and green macarons and little tarts piped with pink rosettes.
Elias paints in short, blocky strokes of soft modern impressionism. The window frame is laid down in muted sage, the shelves inside glow amber and honey, and the glass catches the street outside in dabs of slate blue, gray and lamplight gold. A jar of pink peonies sits beside the cakes, and the reflection of a bistro chair drifts through the scene.
It's for anyone who slows down at bakery windows, loves a good birthday cake, or misses a favorite corner shop from a trip abroad. As cake wall art it feels sweet without being sugary, and as kitchen wall art it brings a calm, pastel glow to the room where you actually bake.
Hang this canvas wall art over a sideboard as dining room wall art, above a little table as breakfast nook wall art, or behind the counter as coffee shop wall art. It fits cafe wall art collections easily and pairs well with other kitchen canvas prints in soft, muted tones.
