Great modern looking piece Michael. Great figures & love the white space & suggestive background.

I can feel the rush. I like the perspective which helps to generate that feeling.

Captures it perfectly with minimum brushwork. Super.

I love the suggestion of all the moving figures. Very effective

Four great posts today, Michael. This is my favorite, I like the low point of view, the figures and the perspectives in both figures and background are so well done.

Thanks Rachel, Gudrun, Seth, Diana and Lewis.

Good work Michael, whole scene well attained with minimal detail and pallet yet a good sense of activity and life. Well done.

This really does suit your style of painting. Great focus on the people, just enough detail fo the urban landscape, great stuff.

This is so very focused! The upward perspective gives so much intensity, great movement and interesting figures, Michael, really like it

Thanks for your kindness Thalia. Inspires me to do more.

That's a super painting Michael.

I love this, Michael. I can feel the hustle and bustle.

Good figures and like the angle Michael
