I found this on stumbleupon. It literally, made my day seeing this painting. At first glance I said "oh, that's cool cuse it looks blurry as if you're looking out a windshield on a rainy day", which is too great because, well...obviously it's raining in the painting.
Then I zoomed in and the detail is INCREDIBLE. The art form and technique are my favorite part of this piece. I showed a bigger version so you yourself can marvel.
Each "stroke" was done singularly and it's so great because multiple colors were "blended" in each "stroke". It's kinda like the painters palette got messy and he just didn't care. Haha. I think this painting was done by one of those small little metal spades which is why I call it a "stroke" since it wasn't actually done by a brush. Using such an instrument would also mean his movements would have to be very direct and perfect so that the colors don't over blend and ruin the look of having different color streaks within each other.
Overall I'm very impressed by the artists ability to create illusion and be so precise. It's such a pretty painting. I really love it.
To see the entire painting in excruciating (but satisfying) detail, go to this link. It's so much better when you can see the entire thing up close.
