Oil on panel
12x16

This painting was based off of a photo I took of the house next door.

I really tried to work on color in this one. At first I wanted to make everything really monochromatic in all green tones but decided to put red in the shadows (I have been playing with complementry color lately) so I think the color contrast and the contrast between blurry and sharp is what made it successful. I also wanted to make the drops look like they are laying on the surface of the panel which makes the panel become the actual glass of the window.

Drops on a Surface by ~MichelleAnderst is certainly one trippy painting! ( Suggested by ~Anavelle and Featured by `De-Profundis )

GHOD does that ever look real! I never dreamed it was anything else until I went full view.

The red touches it off to perfection. Congrats on the DD bud.

I really like all of your paintings. Love the way you make the light with your colors and how you capture the whole scene. It looks easy, but I bet it isn't.
And this DD is perfect. (I had to try a snapshot out the window just to see how it looked.) - link -

Thanks! yeah they arent easy. this style is getting easier though but that just means i need to move on to something else. i think the worst thing would be to master a certain style or technique and then stay there because its automatic.

In the smaller cale version one can forget this is done in oils. A wonderful painting. As is the shock of the say, AWESOME water droplets! :)

Takecare,
Mai.
