Original Oil Paintings and Limited Edition Prints of Nyon and Givrins, Switzerland

Original Oil Paintings and Limited Edition Fine Art Prints Now Available

I’m delighted to now offer a small collection of original oil paintings and limited edition signed and numbered fine art giclée prints of works painted in Switzerland.

The original oil paintings were all painted en plein air (from life) in the picturesque village of Givrins, near Nyon. Featured in the paintings are the local Auberge, Jura Mountains and Lake Geneva.

As well as the original oil painting, I have created a strictly limited edition of just 15 giclée prints of “The Auberge at Givrins.”

In addition to these I also have a handful of limited edition prints remaining from the popular “Nyon at Midday” townscape.

All of these paintings and prints are currently available with Free Shipping in the UK and Switzerland.

The Creation of the Paintings

I enjoyed a great few days painting en plein air over in Switzerland last year where I painted in the beautiful village of Givrins, near Nyon. The works that I completed include:

Painting of the Auberge at Givrins

I started painting this piece from life in the centre of Givrins before finishing the painting back in my studio.

I loved the way the bright sunlight shifted across the street as I worked and the colours of the Auberge shutters and parasols made for a really interesting piece.

Painting of Lake Geneva and the Alps

Painted on a cloudy but bright day, the second view features Lake Geneva in the middle ground and the alps in the distance seen from the outskirts of Givrins.

I managed to sit on a bench for this painting, saving my legs for the other days that I would be stood at the pochade box!

Painting of the Jura Mountains from Givrins

I painted this scene of the Jura Mountains stood in a field on the edge of Givrins.

I headed out quite early and the clouds were hiding the mountains so I worked up the foreground and middle ground as best as I could in the hope that the sun would break through later in the day.

Luckily the weather and light improved and a low hanging mist created a great atmosphere in between the mountains. A thoroughly enjoyable one to paint.
