This is a colored pencil painting that I did after we returned from a recent trip to Galena, Illinois. It was a rainy day and while we were having lunch, raindrops had collected on the car windshield. As we sat in the car looking through all the drops, we realized that what we were seeing was an alternative reality of what was actually outside our car. I took a photograph of the scene we were seeing and this photograph is the basis for the painting entitled "Through Raindrop". The piece is done on museum quality Grafix drafting film using Farber-Castell Polychromos, Dick Blick, and KOH-I-NOOR pencils. The size of the artwork is 11 x 14 inches.

Utterly mesmerising - I could stare at this for hours.

Artist Reply: Tony: thank you so very much for such a very nice comment! I've been bitten by the "rain bug" and am doing a series of pieces that feature common scenes that are distorted to one degree or another by raindrops. Thank you again for looking and for commenting. Best regards, Will

Artist Reply: Amber: Thank you so very much for such a nice comment! It takes a bit of patience, but the result is most interesting.

I'm glad that you find this look interesting. Best regards, Will

MARVELOUS WILL. NOW THAT'S A RAIN STORM. JOANIE

Artist Reply: Joanie: thanks so much for your nice comment! It took many breaks to finish all the raindrops, but finally did finish. Love the way that raindrops obscure the scene just enough , but not too much. Thanks again and have a great coming week. Best regards, Will
