A lunchtime interior

Last November we were sitting in a hotel having lunch when I looked up and suddenly appreciated the scene before me. It was one I'd seen before on quite a few occasions but this time it was different. As I reflected on what I was looking at I decided that it was because there were fewer people than usual, the view through the window was more visible, but more importantly, the soft, autumn sun was penetrating the room, enhancing the colours and making the scene resemble a genre painting i.e. a painting of everyday people undertaking everyday activities.
