Late Valley Sunset Rain - oil painting by Rachel Brask - 30x40 inches

This painting highlights the change of sunset rain from earlier warm hues falling in harmony with the raindrops refracting the cooler tones of a later sunset, before nightfall. Highlighting the oranges, purples, and pink tones, Brask uses oil paints and a process of creating an image in pointillism texture, only to wipe it all away using gravity, brushwork, and time. Like the process of adapting to rainy days, with each droplet, she adapts her original vision for the painting to work in conversation with gently modifying where and how the raindrops roll down the painting's imagined window.

This painting inspired by the view from the porch of the artists’s riverside log cabin, looking out onto the valley. She painted several quick studies of the changing colors of the sunset, this being on the later end of the sunset just before dark cooler colors descend with nighttime. 

This original oil painting is painted on all outer edges of a 1.5 inch profile gallery-wrap canvas, signed by artist Rachel Brask, and includes accompany Certificate of Authenticity. Painting comes with hanging wire affixed to back of canvas. This original hand-painted canvas also contains a uniquely textured surface where some of the "rain drips" dried in place.
