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.

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.

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.
