Watercolor painting of European Mountain Village
Continuing the series of European Village scenes, I referred back to my sketchbooks from a trip to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to come up with this painting of a typical mountain village. I wanted to capture the feel of early morning light cresting the ridge and falling across the town, a scene I encountered in my early morning walks through the European countryside.
I am a fulltime artist living in southern Utah near Zion National Park. Each year my wife and I travel to various parts of the world where I sketch and paint on location. My watercolor paintings are in over 2200 permanent collections worldwide and my travel sketches were featured in "The Artist's Magazine." Many of my paintings are available as prints and can be viewed at www.rolandlee.com.
This is absolutely beautiful. It takes my breath away
