The colours of summer by the lake are celebrated in this pastoral painting by Pat Service. This minimalist piece illustrates a classic lake and beach view—the deep blues of the cloud-filled sky and lake, green fields, a red cabin, the Canadian Flag, turquoise and yellow canoes and a floating dock. It’s a serene scene many of us return to year after year.

I love it, child-like but not childish, and joyful.
Joyful for sure, reminds me of every lake in Ontario I’ve ever been to (except perhaps the archipeligo)
Yes, those wonderful glacier-scraped lakes, in their cradles of Canadian Shield rock
This was interesting, so simple it looks like a child in grade school did it. I like the tiny Canadian flag.
Yes, child in grade school is exactly right. I found the same with her first pieces I posted (link in this post) and I loved it.
Thanks, I’ll go look.
