European Wanderlust

Travel Stories & Original Paintings from Europe

Wandering Europe, One Canvas at a Time

Travel stories, honest hotel & restaurant reviews, and original paintings born on the road.

Traveller with sketchbook overlooking a European landscape

Hi, I'm the Wanderer Behind This Blog

I pack light, sketch everywhere, and eat whatever the locals are eating. This blog is my travel diary — honest impressions of the places I've slept, the meals I've loved (and the ones I haven't), and the corners of Europe that stopped me in my tracks long enough to reach for a paintbrush.

Every painting in the shop was made on-location — the light, the smell of the place, all of it goes into the canvas. I hope a little of that feeling travels home with you.

Paintings from the Road

Each piece was painted on-location during my travels — the light, the atmosphere, and the feeling of the place are all captured in the canvas. Every painting is one of a kind.
