Another wonderful painter from France

Susan K. introduced me to his work...just love it! "Roger Mühl (1929-2008) was a French painter, sculptor and draughtsman. Born in Strasbourg, an area that had just recently been returned to France after World War One, he studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. A figurative painter, he was passionate about the landscapes of of the South of France. His paintings were characterized by their pastel colours and the way in which he captured the light and shadows in his scenes. He based himself in Mougins, a hilltop town about fifteen minutes drive from Cannes and his partings of Provence and the Luberon region were exhibited all over the world." I can't seem to upload any photos but there is a montage of his work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx-MVzwqjck
