A Beautiful Day at Lake Como
Hand-painted, original artwork
Acrylic and oil on canvas
100 x 80 cm
A Beautiful Day as we let the August heat of this Italianate hospice reward our endeavours. Joyfully we release into the blue etheric conditions. The glassy lake, a myriad colours - greens, oranges, deep hues, dancing to a hum of gleeful laughter as we let the warm pebbles nurse our feet. The distant mist reveals greens faded to blues. The cypress and the cedar, deep, rich, integrate a still starch cloudline while the villas reflect heat and colour below.

A peaceful scene. A summers' day, yet not hot. A walk along the lake side. Through the reeds. Maybe a warbler flies loose as we walk by. A duck stirs the cool body of water, the wind rustles through the abundance of luscious green foliage, swaying en masse - a waltz, natures' rhythm. A greeting of phosphor clouds. Such was our walk.

This painting is based on an excellent photo by Denis Rebadj and was originally called ‘Martin Pecheur’. His great work can be seen on his Flickr photostream or at his website at www.denisrebadj.com . I heartily encourage you to have a look.
I felt Denis’ photo really captured the elegant and dynamic beauty of this wonderful creature.
