Munich – Platzl, oil on canvas, 24 x 18 cm, ©2010 Julie Galante. I’ve gotten out of the habit of producing a daily painting. Perhaps I need to line up some photographs to work from so I’m always ready to go when I sit down at the easel. I think tomorrow I’ll move on to working … Read more
Munich Wienerplatz (in progress), oil on canvas, 60 x 70 cm, ©2010 Julie Galante. This one has been in progress for a while now. It’s a larger, more detailed version of a scene from one of my daily paintings. I haven’t quite figured out what it needs so I can call it finished. Ideas?

Oil on canvas panel, 20 x 20 cm, ©2010 Julie Galante. [SOLD] I haven’t managed to make very many daily paintings this past week. I’ve been more focused on a few larger works-in-progress, plus there were a couple daily paintings that just didn’t work out. I hope I’ll have more to show you this coming … Read more

Market pumpkins, oil on canvas, 18 x 24 cm, ©2010 Julie Galante. This original painting is for sale. I love autumn at the farmers market.
