The best way to get through a congested Manhattan avenue is above it. This 2007 watercolor by Paul Jackson is a detailed, beautiful nighttime cityscape full of energy, light, and a touch of natural beauty as a wayward Egret heads for a pier at the edge of the island. This painting won the Walser Greathouse Medal from the 141st annual exhibition of the American Watercolor Society, was selected for the American Watercolor Society International Exhibition and is one of a series by the artist featuring New York City.
