Swimming Pool with Yellow Lounge Chair

About Swimming Pool with Yellow Lounge Chair

This contemporary watercolour painting by Pat Service has a summer theme.

In this serene painting, Pat Service illustrates a classic summer image—the backyard swimming pool. The turquoise waters dominate the frame, a single yellow lounge chair sits to one side against the backdrop of lush foliage and a deep blue sky. Service has a reputation as one of Canada’s finest landscape artists. During her impressive decades-long career, she has explored many genres from traditional landscapes to abstraction and minimalism.
This watercolour on paper is rendered with expressive brushstrokes in a bright modern palette—blues, yellow, green, orange, white, brown and black. The mood created by the empty pool invites the viewer to dive in. One of a series.

“Colour, line, texture and composition are the players; the playground is the canvas.” Pat Service
