Acrylic Marketplace Scene on Canvas, "Crossing the Rubicon"

Samuel Davis Apsondaise's colorful painting is based on the popular Kaneshie market in Accra, the capital of Ghana. To understand the work's title, "Crossing the Rubicon," look to the bridge in the background of the painting. The phrase "crossing the rubicon," means to pass the point of no return, and this reflects a problem faced by many women and pedestrians who cross the busy bridge in their day-to-day transactions.
