I found this painting in frame earlier tonight propped against a tree on the corner
of Charles and Clifton Streets. I think it's 'Partenkirchen' by CAROLUS 1957.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a mountain resort town in Bavaria, southern Germany. It is the administrative centre of the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the Oberbayern region, and the district is on the border with Austria. Nearby is Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, at 2961 m (9714 ft.).
Garmisch and Partenkirchen remained separate until their respective mayors were forced by Adolf Hitler to combine the two market towns in 1935 in anticipation of the 1936 Winter Olympic games. Today, the united town is casually (but incorrectly) referred to as Garmisch, much to the dismay of Partenkirchen's residents.
The back with handwritten notation.
I tried to shoot a 'Corky visits Partenkirchen' image, but he didn't stay put on the dining-room table long enough for me to light/compose it better. Maybe there's hope for the spider plant—he didn't touch it when he was beside it.
