For Most Artists The Weather Has Little Impact On Their Work,

in some cases lighting effects may even enhance the finished work, but for American artist Scott Wade when he makes a picture he prays it will not rain, his medium is dust, car dust, or to be precise the dust that falls on car windows, Mr Wade can spend up to four hours perfecting his dirt drawings but admitted one heavy downpour could destroy his hard work,
He said: 'It's surprising to some that the wind and turbulence caused by driving down the road really doesn't affect the drawings much, but a good downpour does, He said: 'I lived on a long, dirt road for over 20 years, our cars were always dirty and I would often doodle in the dust on the rear windows of our cars,
I guess it does not rain much in Wimberley, Texas, but I would also guess an art form that with all of our rain would not catch on in the UK!
