A suspended moment before the sky gives in. Soft, layered clouds stretch across the horizon, dissolving into one another in tones of ash, sand, and muted violet. Subtle flashes of blue break through like fleeting thoughts—brief clarity before the atmosphere thickens. Below, the lake rests in a fragile stillness, mirroring the sky with a quiet tension, as if holding its breath.
Inspired by the shifting light over Zug Lake just before rainfall, this large-scale piece captures that delicate threshold between calm and release. The textures move between fluid and sculptural, echoing the unpredictability of weather—and emotion.
“Last sip of coffee before the rain starts” invites you into a private pause: that small, unnoticed moment where time slows, the air changes, and something inevitable approaches.

The painting is sold without a frame and will arrive carefully rolled in a protective tube to ensure safe transport. This provides optimal protection for the large canvas during shipping and allows you to have it stretched and, if desired, framed according to your preferences at a local frame shop. The artwork is signed on the front, with the date and title on the back. It is sealed with varnish to protect it from dust and UV light. All photos are taken to represent the colors and details as accurately as possible; however, slight variations between the images and the original may occur. The artwork is typically ready to ship within 3 business days of purchase. Commissioned artworks require approximately 2–3 weeks.
All artworks are created in Switzerland and come with a certificate of authenticity.
Free shipping worldwide. For customers based in the central part of Switzerland, I also offer personal delivery for extra-large paintings and can arrange the canvas stretching directly in your home or office, so the artwork is ready to enjoy immediately.
Thank you,
Kiki Spring
