In the heart of Manhattan, “Flat Iron Hustle” paints a vibrant rainy day scene. On this bustling city street, silhouetted figures gracefully navigate the rain with their umbrellas. The iconic Flat Iron building looms in the background, an architectural giant against the dimming blue sky. In the foreground, the bright red canopy of a Jazz Café welcomes passersby, a nod to the city’s rich musical heritage.

In the piece, Paul applies a warm palette, with autumnal shades adorning the trees in the distance. These earthy tones dappling the urban backdrop evoke the changing seasons in the city, while the stream of iconic yellow New York taxis weaving through the streets symbolises the constant motion of Manhattan.

Paul utilises metallic accents throughout to enhance the depth of this already lively composition, creating a visual jazz piece that harmonises with the vibrant music scene of ‘Empire City’.
