Although the title of the picture is about rain, but what I see is a mixture of different objects. I saw a cat, fingers with ring and a crocodile with sticks. The colour of the picture makes me feel lonely because there is no one around.

The picture illustrates a stormy raining day. I saw lots of different elements with bright colors. There is a fierce dragon with fire coming out of its mouth and a kung fu bird is fighting against the dragon. Raindrops are falling on the slope of castles. I am cold because it is a stormy weather.

The sky seen to be raining because there was some dark clouds hanging in the sky.I saw a girl at the bottom of the hill. she is leaving the castle and going up the hill.I saw a bird flying on top of the girl.On the hill there is a witch wearing black costume. She look scary. At the bottom of the hill it looks peaceful while on top of
the hill it look dark.The artist who draw this painting uses different colours for different mood.

I can see that it is raining heavily and there are thunders and lightning. I can also see houses and trees. I think this picture is about a neighbour hood living beside a hill. The black clouds give me a feeling of sadness. The hill gives me a feeling of peacefulness. The picture captures the mood of a rainy day. There were dark clouds and lines of rain and wet patches on the ground.

Most of the colour is dark colours.I think Kandisky must really like dark colours.
I also think he just wanted to show that the weather is very dark. THerefore, he will use more of the dark colours.

Both dark and bright colours were used.White cloud and dark cloud were both seen in the picture. The sun seemed to be rising, indicating a new day. Rain poured on the land from the dark cloud, making it wet. Houses were also seen.I guess Kandinsky wanted to show that he feels a bad omen coming.
