This paper will also examine the interplay between rain droplets and the windscreen with the aim of using the impressions to create paintings on 2-dimensional surfaces. The paintings created are based on the Visual, aesthetics and appealing amoebic forms observed across the surface of the windscreen. Such works are seen to bear the ephemeral qualities of the rain as its affects the visual appreciation of colours and other elements of arts.
