艺术家伊丽莎白•帕特森对绘画特别是其中的用光还有距离感兴趣。当她在雨中开着车，发现从挡风玻璃看出去的风景是那么的扭曲，但又那么的真实，她被迷住了。于是她把她看到的画了出来，有的带着雨点，有的被挡风玻璃雨刷刷出的水幕改变了全貌。所有的一切是那么的有意思：色彩，距离，还有气氛。这个雨中挡风玻璃景观系列，艺术家仍在进行之中。

From the beginning of my obsession with drawing, I have been fascinated by transformational qualities of light and distance.  Whether I am studying a large body of water shot through with sunlight or rain on a car windshield reflecting the glimmer of adjacent neon signs, I am always looking to catch the mystery of these completely real distortions.  This is what interests me when I look at the world.  No matter what the subject matter or what the degree of complexity in the composition, I never tire of the challenge of articulating the fluidity I see all around me.

My most recent series “rainscapes” was born of my attempts to watch the patterns created by water and nightlight on my windshield during a rainstorm.  A few drops turned into rivulets, blurring my vision.  Then the wipers would completely change the image.  It was a mesmerizing display of all the elements that stimulate my imagination:  an emotional quality suggested by water, a solitary vantage point for the artist and constantly shifting colors and distances in the landscapes.  I started shooting reference photos and am currently still mid-experiment with that imagery.
