Oil and wax pastels on canvas board, 12 x 9 cm
This painting captures the vibrant atmosphere of Rivaz on a hot summer day. The scene unfolds at the débarcadère, where the intense light of midday transforms the lake and sky into vivid shades of ultramarine blue. Beneath, the orange underpainting glows through the coarse texture of the canvas, adding warmth, energy and movement.
The contrast of cool and warm tones evokes both the serenity of water and the radiance of sun-drenched stone. With its interplay of colors and textures, this small work conveys the essence of summer by the lake: dynamic, luminous, and timeless.
An intimate piece for collectors who value bold color harmonies and the tactile presence of paint.
