Watercolour painting of a ‘Green’ mini bus on a narrow street in the busy shopping district of Causeway Bay Hong Kong with a great neon sign advertising ‘Squid Balls’ in the background. This street is near the famous crossing outside of the Sogo department store where hundreds of pedestrians cross in a heady swarm. The artist takes considerable care and attention to show the city environment light reflected and refracted in the windscreen of the main character. A typical everyday scene, now elevated and celebrated to a fascinating moment in time.
