Soft Pastel on grey Cansons Ingres, paper, 29.7 x 42 cm. A favourite mountain of mine, Mt Teysachoux (the dark peak in middle ground) is a hairy ridge scramble. Behind, the French Savoyan mountains just peak above the "Nebelfeld" or fog layer, covering Lake Geneva. The Föhn is a warm southerly wind that boosts temperatures and can cause violent winds but always provides good views even if, in this case, hazy. Painted on site, dated 2008 and signed LRC.

your pastels are so fine!Fiona Hooper 24 Nov 2009
I love the way the foreground mountains really stand away from the distant background, and the subtle use of many different colours to give interest and life to the painting.
