Bold colors, ancient Egypt and ancient species surround a delicate work of art glass in a Paul Jackson watercolor that just keeps you looking. Color, light and composition work together in a painting that commands the mood with touches of the unexpected. This is one in a series of Paul Jackson art glass still life paintings & was painted by candlelight. "Chronicles of Kings" was painted upon Paul's return from Egypt in 1993.

"The Collector" won Best of Show at the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibition in 1996, First Place in The Artists Magazine Annual competition 1995, & First Place in the Winsor & Newton painting competition 1996.
