Lake Lucerne by Barbara Blair

Lake Lucerne

11x14", Pastel on Sennelier board. From a photo which was very 'busy' - lots of shrubbery, fancier architecture, dozens of yachts on the water> I like a more 'tranquil' feeling! So I did some building renovations and a bit of landscape gardening and sent the sailors home for lunch......
So calming place and very beautiful atmosphere! Love this colors,my dear friend,particularly of the lake and house! 5***** from me! Best regards,Ankica

Hi Barbara, You may be right in that it is some special breed of persian. The facial markings are so different. Cheers from Mike

I am so glad you sent the sailors home for lunch, this piece is so much more beautiful without them. I can almost hear the mountains calling in the distance.

I paint because I love it. My work is not for sale,but I love to share with my family and friends, and other artists. Mostly I work with pastel, occasionally with oils and mainly still lifes, landscapes, and some fantasy images.
