Dreamlike fine art painting of the iconic Cinderella castle by a veteran Walt Disney background artist

Gorgeous original painting by Disney artist James Coleman entitled ‘Path to the Palace,’ accomplished beautifully in watercolor on 7.5 x 11.5 artist paper, which is signed in the lower left in blue pencil by Coleman. The dreamlike painting offers a striking fairy tale view of Cinderella’s magical coach making its way down the wooded path to Prince Charming’s majestic castle, its iconic spires touching the glowing dusk sky and setting sun. Attractively mounted and framed to an overall size of 16 x 20. In fine condition.

James Coleman is a prominent fine artist for the Walt Disney Company, who initially worked in the Walt Disney mail room before being promoted to Background Department Supervisor, a position he held for nearly 17 years. While at Disney, Coleman styled and worked on 12 films and over 30 short subjects which included Mickey's Christmas Carol, The Fox and the Hound, The Great Mouse Detective, The Black Cauldron, The Little Mermaid, and Academy Award-winning Beauty and the Beast. All of which came to life with Coleman's background images gracing the silver screen.
