Disneyland Paintings

There are a few things on the planet I really appreciate and one of them is good art. I recently fell in love with a painting that is owned by one of our family friends. The painting is from Iran and it's of a woman who looks like a girl in one of my favorite paintings at The Getty Museum. The painting from Iran is so beautiful because the woman is just glowing. She looks peaceful and graceful and lovely. The colors are brilliant and rich and I just can't help but notice that the painter must have been viewing her with the most loving eyes you can imagine.

It got me thinking about the paintings at Disneyland. There is one that captures my attention of a woman on Pirates of the Caribbean. She looks strong, bold and beautiful. Are those paintings ever for sale or are they forever paintings for each ride? There are also quite a few paintings on the Haunted Mansion ride. The Pirates of the Caribbean painting I recognized when I did a google search but I haven't had the opportunity to study the Haunted Mansion ones as well. I wonder if they are meticulously placed on each ride.

Are any of them of Walt Disney's wife or inspired by her? Did he paint?
