In July 2005 , Vine made a painting of the No. 30 London bus which had been destroyed by a suicide bomber in Tavistock Square , outside her Bloomsbury flat during the 7 July 2005 London bombings . Vine painted over the artwork almost as soon as she had made it , as she found the work " simply too disturbing " . Vine documented the bus painting before she re-painted over it , but refuses to show the photographs publicly during her lifetime . She described it as stunning and moving but " extremely harrowing to paint because there were bodies on the bus . " The canvas now shows the model Abi Titmuss wearing bleeding red shoes
