Rush Hour, Embankment, Oil on Board, 8" x 10", 2011

This is one of my paintings I did in summer. I have always loved the crowded scenes but this was the first time I have done one this size, it's my smallest Rush hour piece. I just wanted to capture the heavy rush that occurs down Villiers Street right up to the Embankment Station. The challenge is always to make sure the piece is lively and nothing near static.

Adebanji, great painting. You painted two and a half faces yet I see at least a hundred. Nothing static here.
