Biergarten at Viktualienmarkt, 40 x 50 cm, oil on canvas, ©2012 Julie Galante. [SOLD] Munich is a wonderful city in the summer. There are beer gardens everywhere.

The daily paintings in my studio these days are all about sushi, but the larger works on my easel are mostly new Munich scenes. In this one I tried to capture a bit of the jumble of … Read more
Zurich Riverfront: Yellow Sky, 18 x 24 cm, oil on canvas board, ©2012 Julie Galante. [SOLD] We recently went on vacation (Italy – yay!), and before we left I found myself with a motley assortment of colors still wet on my palette. Hating to let good oil paint go to waste, I challenged myself to … Read more
Study: Frauenkirche at Night, 24 x 18 cm, oil on canvas, ©2012 Julie Galante. Today I posted a few new little Munich paintings to my Etsy shop.

Afternoon in the beer garden #1, 40 x 60 cm, oil on canvas, ©2012 Julie Galante. [SOLD] Brrr! It has been extremely cold in Munich this week (-18c/1f most mornings).

A sunny winter morning in Munich’s Odeonsplatz, 30 x 40 cm, oil on canvas, ©2011 Julie Galante. Available for sale on Etsy. More Munich for you today.

Munich Wittelsbacherbrücke, 18 x 24 cm, oil on canvas, ©2011 Julie Galante. [SOLD] This is a bridge in central Munich called Wittelsbacherbrücke (don’t you just love German?). The church looming in the background is St. Maximilian. I’m on a Munich streak here, which is quite serendipitous since little Munich paintings tend to be quite popular at … Read more
Alter Peter in Miniature, 15 x 15 cm, oil on canvas, ©2011 Julie Galante. [SOLD] I don’t usually do cityscapes on these tiny (6 x 6 inch) canvases. I don’t have the world’s steadiest hand, so putting in such small details isn’t easy (that’s why this painting is pretty loose). I think the result is … Read more
