Lake Lucerne by Barbara Blair

Lake Lucerne

© Barbara Blair

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......

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

It does look like a breed from that general direction - interesting that you follow up right away with a tank of fish! Hungry puss? :D

Artist Statement
for Barbara Blair

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.

"Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain"
