Original Watercolour Painting
Red Lights, New York Rain
By Robert Mee
This highly impressionistic watercolour captures New York City softened by rain. Painted predominantly wet-in-wet, the scene is intentionally blurred, as if viewed through rain-soaked glasses. Colours melt into one another — cool greys and blues washed with warm reflections — allowing the city to feel fleeting and atmospheric rather than fixed.
A yellow cab glows gently against the rain-darkened street, its colour cutting through the haze of movement and weather. Red traffic lights hover in the distance, suspended in mist, while indistinct figures cross the slick roads below. Reflections stretch and shimmer across the surface, hinting at the constant motion of the city even as the rain quietens it.
The painting captures a moment where New York slows — rain blurring edges, softening noise, and turning the familiar streets into something almost dreamlike.
