Watching rain fall can be mundane. But artist Elizabeth Patterson is turning plain old rainy scenes into amazing pieces of art, using canvas and colored pencils.
“It so happened I was staring out the windshield in a most dull-minded state, just wanting to get home from work one day, when my view suddenly shifted from trying to see through the rain, to watching the way the water transformed the city in the background," Patterson told weather.com. "Along came the wipers – the canvas cleared and the action started again.
"I am drawn to water, to weather, to environment, and I have to get it down on paper. I just have to.”
