And now it's a digital screen rendering of a painting of a rainy window showing the moonlit ocean.
But in all seriousness, that is a really cool painting and concept.
Wow. I wonder how he is doing the rain drops.
With acrylic paint
Just some uninformed speculation, but - looks like he put down something like painting tape where he wanted the raindrop trails, painted a light coat over the whole thing, removed the tape, and then painted the drops. Feel free to correct me.
With the skill level required for such precise detail and prep, I'm left wondering why the rest of the painting is below that mark.
Personally, I think it's meant to be a deceptively simple painting. At first blush, it doesn't look like much, but then you notice the streaks and then the drops and it pulls you in.
I think it's really clever.
To each their own. You may feel pulled in, but the fact that the artist offers nothing more at that point is the crux of my critique.
Absolutely. That's part of what makes art so wonderful.
Ah, I think you misunderstand my meaning, though in that I don't disagree. Please refer to my previous comment, however.
Yeah, art is wonderful, because someone might not be impressed by a painting and someone else might like it, and it doesn't really matter.
Ah, so algebraically you're saying: "art is wonderful..." because "it doesn't really matter." Interesting take. Like I said: to each their own.
Yes, the nice thing is there's no need to take it personally when someone doesn't agree with you when it comes to art.
I'm sorry if you misunderstood me, friend, but if you'll kindly point out where in my comments above did this "taking it personally" occur, I believe I might better understand.
FYI, "To each their own" is not a derogatory phrase, and if that's where your irritation lies... the irony in that alone is tragic.
I don't feel irritated, I feel joyful and friendly and actually kind of euphoric, to be honest :)
