London bus - 70 x 100 cm

The painting presents a frontal view of a red London double-decker bus set against a saturated blue-green background. Thick impasto strokes define the bus silhouette and windows, with expressive palette-knife textures. The lower foreground shows tall grass with dotted yellow and red flowers, contrasting with the mechanized subject. Edges are slightly rough and gestural, suggesting speed and weathering.

Blues within the windows read as reflective panels rather than transparent glass. The composition is centralized and symmetrical, relying on bold color blocking and texture more than linear perspective.

Color harmony hinges on complementary red and green, cooled by turquoise and cobalt. The surface carries visible layering and scraping, indicating wet-on-wet and scumbling. The mood is playful yet nostalgic, translating an urban emblem into a pastoral setting.
