This was painted by the artist at a Chicago showing of his work in 2005 where the harpist was performing. Paul Jacksons' skillful use of shape, color and composition define the creativity of this watercolor but its essence is in the focus on the face and the grace of the hands of the musician. As we gaze at painting, we are waiting for the next note to be played; the artist just remembers how difficult it was painting a portrait through strings.
