Watercolor paintings by Charlotte Laxen

I invite you to enjoy my watercolor paintings of France whose landscapes, picturesque streets, daily scenes, and historic towns and villages constantly inspire me to return again and again. These painting are the perfect compliment to French decorating, transporting you to the scenic French countryside.

I also delight in painting areas in and near Lanesboro, Minnesota, the center of the Root River biking trails that remind me of parts of Provence that I have visited. Bright florals and colorful fruits can also be found in my print gallery!

My most recent watercolour paintings explore my desire to show atmosphere and mood in each painting. People tell me they like my bold use of color and that they feel they can step into each painting and experience being there. I hope you feel the same way!

If you are interested in workshops or classes that I teach as well as future Charlotte Laxen shows, upcoming events will keep you posted. You are always welcome to contact me to visit my home gallery, give me suggestions, requests or comments. I enjoy hearing from you!
