"Mill in Provence" by Leon Roulette Oil on Canvas 43" x 56" Signed Painting LEON ROULETTE (b. 1959) Mill in Provence Signed Leon Roulette (lower right) Oil on Canvas Frame: 43 x 56 inches FROM LEON ROULETTE'S WEBSITE: Leon was born in Southern California in 1959. Early in his youth, he read about naturalist like John Muir who captured young Leon’s imagination. At the age of twelve, Leon enrolled in his first painting class and discovered that he possessed a natural talent which soon evolved into a lifelong passion for art. The periods of art that inspired him the most were the 17th century Dutch, the 19th century Impressionist movement and artists of the 20th century. While many young men of his age idolized sports figures or rock stars, Leon’s idols were the likes of Jacob van Ruisdael, Pierre Bonnard and Albert Bierstadt.
