Original artwork description:

This expressionist oil painting catches three University students on the their way to some Friday night revelry. It is at some street traffic lights and as I went to take a photograph of them, the traffic light changed to green and they were off, as if on starter's orders, half running across the street, as if they had no time to lose.
Their mutual excitement propelling them on.
There was there sudden movement as the lights changed and this blurred the background as they hurried off.
I like the blurred affect which trailed off behind them as it caught the excitement of a Friday night out on the town, on their way to ensuring the night would end up as a Friday night blur.
I love the amber street light spilling across the road, and the intense bright white light in the distance, beckoning them three students onwards to good times.
