This original soft pastel painting 36×64cm.
A summer day on Lake Lucerne, when the heat seems almost visible.
In this work, the beach is filled with people escaping the rising temperatures, while orange umbrellas glow under the intense Swiss sun. Behind them, the lake opens towards the blue silhouettes of the mountains — cool, distant and almost unreal against the heat of the day.
Lake Lucerne is a rare place where a city beach, clear alpine water and dramatic mountain scenery exist in one view. This contrast became the heart of the painting: the bright warmth of the crowded lido, the deep blue calm of the lake, and the soft mountain shapes dissolving in the summer haze.
Painted in soft pastel, the work captures not only a landscape, but a feeling — the atmosphere of an unusually hot day in Switzerland, when the colours become sharper, shadows shorter, and the desire to be near water becomes almost universal.
