Last Bus

Last Bus explores one of the final everyday rituals of the evening: catching the last service home. Beneath the glow of artificial light, an ordinary bus station becomes a place of quiet anticipation, where routines draw to a close and journeys begin. It celebrates the familiar reassurance of knowing there's still one more bus to catch.

The last bus always feels different.

It's no longer one of many services passing through the station. It marks the end of the evening, the moment when people gather their belongings, check the timetable one last time and prepare for the journey home.

This painting isn't really about buses. It's about the quiet routines that happen around them. The familiar act of waiting beneath artificial light, watching headlights appear in the distance and knowing that, before long, the station will fall silent again.

For a few moments, strangers share the same space and the same destination: simply getting home. Then the doors close, the bus pulls away and another ordinary day quietly comes to an end.
