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 pointilism 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 modifiying where and how the raindrops roll down the painting's imagined window.
