Lake Tekapo - Original Pastel

Nestled in New Zealand’s South Island high country, Lake Tekapo is famous for its almost other-worldly turquoise glow, a colour so pure it seems lit from within. Glacial minerals suspended in the water scatter sunlight into this astonishing blue-green tone, making Tekapo one of the most photographed lakes in the world.

In this picture, those luminous hues come alive in broad, rounded strokes of refreshing azure blues, aqua and turquoise . Mountains soften into gentle folds, and the lake itself feels like a calm heartbeat of the scene. The artist captures not just what Tekapo looks like, but what it feels like, that sense of serenity and awe when you first glimpse the water shimmering beneath the southern sky.

A celebration of colour, light, and the quiet joy of being surrounded by nature’s wonder.

How Your Original Will Arrive and What to Do Next

This is an original artwork, created by the artists hands using soft pastels, a natural medium composed of pure pigment, clay, and a binder. These pastels (Rembrandt and Sennelier) are lightfast, permanent, and chemical-free, offering a life time of colour and depth.

“Degas used soft pastels in his ballerina series (1880s), the originals remain as vibrant today as the day he painted them.”

Because of its value and delicacy, the artwork is not framed before delivery. This reduces the carbon footprint as well as ensures:

• The surface is protected from pressure and vibration during shipping

• You can work with a trusted local framer to choose the right frame for your space and style

• The artwork stays in its best possible condition until it’s safely behind glass 

  Please do not attempt to flatten or frame the artwork yourself. Originals must be carefully unrolled and mounted by a professional framer to avoid creasing, smudging, or damage.

This is the beginning of your role as its curator, the artwork has travelled from the artist’s hands to yours. Let it be framed with care and intention, ready to hold its place in your world.
