Munich’s Volksbad on the Isar, 18 x 24 cm, oil on canvas, ©2011 Julie Galante. [SOLD]
The Müller’sches Volksbad is Munich’s incredibly beautiful Art Nouveau indoor swimming pool. It is located next to a shallow part of the Isar, the river that runs through the city. I love looking at it. And painting it.
I am really starting to enjoy this painting-every-day business. I might have to declare more months to include art every day (but ask me again tomorrow or the next day when I’m less than happy with whatever painting I produce).
November is Art Every Day Month. I’ll be posting a new small painting here each and every day. After they have had time to dry (a couple weeks), the original paintings will also appear in my Etsy shop. Paintings from the beginning of the month are already there, as are a couple Christmas cards based on my seasonal Munich paintings.

If you haven’t already, go check out Art Every Day Month on Leah’s blog. This is the third November in a row that I’ll be participating. It’s lots of fun, and a great chance to connect with creative bloggers from all over the place.
In past years I have posted my daily art to my blog every single day, but this time around a couple of trips are going to prevent me from doing that. But I will post as often as possible, and even when I’m not posting, I’ll be making some sort of art every day – drawing or painting or collaging or something else. My sketchbook is sitting on top of my suitcase, ready to accompany me on my adventures.

Most of my work is subjective and painted from life, but every once in a while I create images purely from my imagination, such as these two. Usually I have a hard time choosing a direction when painting without reference material. I like to push myself to try it every once in a while. Both pictured paintings are acrylic on canvas, 20 x 20 cm.
I have been coming back to this color palette a lot recently. Somehow it seems particularly appropriate for these unreal landscapes.
Do you work mostly from source images or do you rely exclusively on memory and imagination?
