The Lakes Collection
One of Lucy’s biggest collections to date A STUNNING NEW 10-PIECE ART COLLECTION The Lake District is one of my favourite places. From regular holidays as a child visiting relatives, I now visit with my own family choosing to spend time at our caravan in Keswick. From the top of the fells to the depths of the lakes, there is something about the mountains, glorious lakes and the fresh air that lifts my spirits. There’s nothing like being on the lake on a sunny day or reaching the top of a peak and soaking in the views beneath. I wanted to paint a collection that spans all seasons and showcases its woolly inhabitants as well as the people and pets that frequent this magnificent part of our country. It doesn’t matter what season it is; the Lake District provides a natural, rugged beauty that I felt needed to be captured in my art. From the golden glow of the trees in autumn to the rich purple heathers of the mountains; the lush lime green of the dales and the darkest night skies, I certainly had plenty of material to work with. I hope the collection inspires you to see the same beauty that I do and that it brings a smile to all those who view it.
A Beautiful Life It’s a beautiful life for these two, where their home has the best views ever! Together they inhale the fresh air and soak up the stunning scenery around them. Framed by the colourful and majestic mountains of Skiddaw, Blencathra and Cat Bells, Derwentwater sits centre stage, a deep blue lagoon reflecting the glorious skies above. It’s a hard life for a Herdy sheep sometimes! Location: Above Lodore Falls, Near Keswick

Owning A Lucy Pittaway Original Quality
From the materials used throughout the creative process, to the finishing stages of framing and glass selection, a Lucy Pittaway original exudes quality. Each original is created using hand-made soft pastels. Produced by Unison Colour in Northumberland, these pastels were originally developed by artist John Hersey in the 1980s and provide the level of exquisite colour and texture which Lucy is known for, and the lightfastness of each pastel accommodates Lucy’s vivid and playful creative process. Their longevity is a promise to Lucy, and her buyers, that artworks will remain bold and beautiful over time. Original works are framed by our trusted and experienced, Fine Art Trade Guild certified framer, here in Yorkshire. Frames are chosen specifically for each piece to showcase the quality and character of the original.
Lakes Collection original pieces include a black bevelled frame and museum quality glass for added protection. Museum quality glass means your original is protected, whilst also reducing any potential glare. It possesses a special coating that eliminates 99% off UV light that can cause fading. This means your picture keeps its vibrancy long-term, and the artwork will display without interference.
Investment
Lucy’s ongoing status as a multi-award-winning* artist means her originals hold a strong place in the commercial art market. The national admiration for Lucy’s work and the ever-growing appetite of buyers, mean that Lucy’s originals have attracted investors from around the world. Iconic Lucy Pittaway Limited Edition prints continue to sell out, increasing the value of the original pieces.
We understand the importance of provenance and therefore provide a Certificate of Authentication and an insurance valuation with all original pieces.
Happiness
Above all, to own a Lucy Pittaway original is to own a little piece of happiness. The best reason to buy an original is because you, or someone close to you, have fallen in love with a picture. It will
make you smile whenever you see it, or continue to remind you of someone special. You might already have an existing collection you wish to add to, or perhaps owning your very own original is something you aspire to. Your chosen original reflects your personality and is a great topic of conversation. Art is truly personal, and the genuine value of an original is its one-of-a-kind nature - an irreplaceable work that is all yours. You also share a small part of Lucy’s story as you become the owner of a piece
