This is a colored pencil painting that I did based on a photograph that I took with my camera phone. I was in the car outside of Photo Pro waiting for the rain to let up and then go in and pick up some prints. But as I waited, the rain presented a refracted image of the store. I knew that this would make an interesting piece. It is titled "Rain or shine, we're here". The piece was done on Dura-lar polyester film using Dick Blick Greys and Faber-Castell polychromos pencils. The piece measures 8 X 12 inches. To me the interesting aspect of this piece is how the rain converts it from a truly realistic style to more abstract in form. I hope that you too find this interesting.

I really like this piece Will. Not only because it is done very well, but for its unique perspective, the view through the wet windshield is great, spot on. Congratulations.

Artist Reply: Raynola: thank you so very much for your kind words. Comments are always appreciated and yours go beyond what might be expected. I'm glad that this piece appeals to you. I have done several through rainy car windows and find it challenging, but enjoyable to do. Have a good day. Best regards, Will
