Laowai

I would love to hang one of these on my wall.

They are by a Japanese artist named Fmio Watanabe. I don’t know anything about him except that these are paintings done by hand and I knew that they must be scenes of Switzerland as soon as I saw them.

Maybe it’s my longing for spring that makes me swoon over the neon greens. I can’t wait ’till I can look across the lake and see the luminescent green grass against bright blue mountains instead of the gray white green haze that I see most days lately.
