Original Painting
New York Crossing
New York2025
Description
A single figure steps across the sunlit street as a yellow cab slides past, the canyon of buildings opening to a pale tower in the soft distance. Street signs lean overhead — a hand-lettered East 42nd St marker among them — and the wet road catches cool blue reflections, the everyday choreography of a Manhattan crossing caught mid-stride.
Paul Kenton balances crisp gouache highlights against loose, smoky washes, letting bright accents of taxi-yellow punch through a muted palette of greys and warm ochre. The distant spire — recognisably the Chrysler Building — gives the scene its sense of place without ever dominating it.
New York Crossing is an original watercolour, gouache and ink painting on Indian paper, part of Kenton's Artisan Paper Collection and his New York series. It is float mounted and presented in a black frame, ready to hang.
