The Blue Wall

Immediately as I started living part of my life in Genève, I fell in love with the blue wall of the Massif du Jura. The air in the valley is nearly always misty, and a haze hangs in front of the mountains, erasing detail and giving them a large variety of blue colours. Occationally a denser cloud floats by, or the beams from the sun plays “fingers of God”.

Here is one out of two sunset paintings done off Route de Cessy, not far from the Cern Point 5.
