Elysian Pond Rainy Reflections 30x40in oil painting by Rachel Brask
This greenscape oil painting is inspired by the rainy reflections off a pond in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I was stunned by the range of summer green hues in the grass, bushes, flowers and trees, all with the blue of the mountains rising in the backround sky. I imagined this scene as though viewing it through a window as it's pouring rain out, abstracted the colors and dragging some of the color from the top of the window canvas as the raindrops roll down the scene. At a certain point, this is artwork is no longer about the scene that it started as, because then it is transformed, abstracted, and recreated in the celebration of materiality, texture, and temporality in the process.

The painting is inspired by the reflecting pond of the bright summer greens of grass, bushes, and trees, with the faint and distant Blue Ridge Mountains behind in the distance. Imagine all this viewed through the lense of a window when it’s pouring rain, and you get this imagery.
This original oil painting is painted on all outer edges of a 1.5 inch profile canvas, signed by artist Rachel Brask, and is available for purchase. 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.
