Love this one of Maurice's cottage and the Beast's Castle. Beauty and the Beast is my absolute favorite and the colors in this piece are just so pretty! I want this in my house. :D

Herb has some incredible pieces of concept art that are true museum pieces.
A lot of the early EPCOT Center concept art is just awesome.

I also really like a lot of Dan Goozee's work.
Most fans here will likely remember his charming concept painting for Disneyland's 'Splash Mountain' in the mid 80's -






Dan also painted this scenic design, 'Adventure Isle' for EuroDisney/Disneyland Paris -






I also like Bryan Jowers famous 'triple attraction' concept for DLs 'Indiana Jones Adventure', which at one point included a thrilling Mine Car track coaster ride ala 'Temple of Doom', the fantastic Troop Transport experience eventually built, and a extension of the 'Jungle Cruise' that brought the boats into the massive show building.
Bryan painted this absolutely stunning concept incorporating all three under one roof.






I would say however that my absolute favorite concept painting is Tony Baxter's beautifully painted design for 'Discovery Bay'.
Done in 1974, it still amazes me when i view it that he was able to cram in SO much detail ...and with watercolors!
A medium so difficult to control on paper as anyone who has worked with watercolors knows.

Love this piece -
