Original Watercolor by Paul Lauritz
"Mountain Lake, Norway" signed lower left. Image measures 7 3/8" x 8 7/8" in thick mat with metallic wood frame. Paul Lauritz was born in a small art colony in Larvik, Norway. Exposed to art almost from birth, Lauritz was well skilled when he emigrated to Canada in 1905. Working his way West as an illustrator, Lauritz settled in Portland before moving to Alaska during the Gold Rush. Failing as a miner, Lauritz met the well established Alaskan artist, Sydney Laurence. In 1919, Lauritz made his final move to Los Angeles, where he taught at the Chouinard and Otis Art Institutes.
