Instead of brushing on the paint to make the water patterns, I have poured the paint down and pushed a viscous paint mixture over the surface.  The effect is a more fluid and leaves an interesting trace of the movement and flow of the substance that has now become frozen on the surface.

Underneath the painted shapes is an abstracted image of clouds.  The clouds are rendered as text on the left hand side and as large pixels on the right hand. Behind the cloud image there is a photo of a building under construction shot up against a sky where again there are clouds visible.
