Description

A night at Geneva, Swetzerland
Oil on canvas
This artwork was inspired by a story of a friend of mine about a perfect night at Geneva. I visited Geneva 10 or maby 12 years ago ,but only that story make me paint this beautiful city.
The story goes like this:my friend and a friend of him standing by the Geneva lake and decided that this is HAPPINESS. Just standing and looking at the sky reflected in the lake....
I am not a good story teller. My English is not so good..but..I hope you understand. Only when he told me this story I realized I was thinking the same thing in Geneva,near the lake.
And I painted this!
Geneva (/dʒɪˈniːvə/ jin-EE-və; French: Genève [ʒənɛv] (listen); Arpitan: Genèva [dzəˈnɛva] (listen); German: Genf [ɡɛnf] (listen); Italian: Ginevra [dʒiˈneːvra]; Romansh: Genevra) is the second-most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich) and the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
