Art ( from abstract to representational) is a language of emotional shapes and colors. I have always loved to combine the looseness of abstract form with realism. This painting leans heavily into the contemporary abstract style, with just enough realism ( the tiny water drops) to delight the eye and bring questions to the viewer. It communicates.

I, also, am aware of new art appreciators that lean into the modern expression of shapes and colors . I want to speak to them as well as my traditional representational collectors.  

Trompe l'oeil ( French: "deceive the eye" ) in painting, 

the representation of an object with such accuracy as to deceive the viewer into believing it is real. 

I used the Trompe l'oeil technique to playfully tease the viewer's eye into believing that the water drops on these paintings are real and 3 dimensional. In reality, they are flat, just as flat as the rest of the painting. I fooled the viewer's eye.

This 3 piece painting is one in a series of contemporary paintings that I used Trompe l'oeil with drops of water, sometimes colored drops, sometimes the drops are clear. All of the drops appear to be real and ready to keep dripping down the canvas.

This painting has 18 water drops and drips.

Here are close-ups of some of the drops in this painting.

Framing -  This 3 piece painting is gallery wrapped - the canvas has been wrapped around to the back of the painting.

Instead of a frame, the 3 sections of this paintings are each painted on all four side edges so frames are unnecessary unless you would like to have them framed.
