Yay... It worked! I had a bit of trouble uploading this image.
This is a painting by John Bracks and I think it is really wonderful. It is called "Collins st 5p.m." and it was painted in Melbourne in the late 1950s. It shows the 5p.m. rush home after work. I think the colours are very moving and the atmosphere in the painting is very engaging. John Brack had this to say about his work, "There are so many of us whose lives are encompassed by offices in the day and suburbs in the night, that it seems almost urgent for the painter to say something about it."
