"Where Oh Where" Abstract Landscapes by California Janet Bludau

12" x 12" Oil

$250

12" x 12"

Oil

I recently came back from a really enjoyable 4 day workshop by Marla Baggetta, a Portland based artist.  Marla's medium is primarily soft pastels but she uses a lot of acrylics also.  I found a kindred spirit:  I get teased about how many paths I paint and here was someone else who sure does paint a lot of paths!  I came home and painted this on board with oil, instead of paper with soft pastels.  Our "styles" are different.  She has a beautiful, loose, free way with her work.  That is also one of the reasons I wanted to learn from her.  I am always wanting to loosen up, as are most artists I know.  Its wonderful to incorporate a few new techniques or, what I have especially liked are the words that come to me from prior classes.  "What If" came to me with this piece and I started scraping  the blue paint back to the red.  At the end of the day though, when you line a group of paintings up, you will most likely know which painting belongs to which painter.  Mine typically have that contemporary, angular style.

Land And Sea, Contemporary Landscapes and Seascapes by California Janet Bludau

12" x 24"

Oil on Thick Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This painting started out with a solid layer of red paint.

From there, I did a simple drawing with very light, thin paint.

I mixed a few colors I thought I might like to use on my palette.

I then started with brushwork but still staying thin with my paint, being careful not to cover up all of my red undercoat.  After I was happy with my colors on the canvas, I went back in with thicker paint with my brushes and palette knives.  Again, being careful not to cover up all my red beneath.  Lastly, I did some scraping with the side of my knife in the foreground which gives us more grass like shapes and again, more undercoat to show through.

4 of this series just sold through a Northern California Gallery.

This piece was unframed so I left it behind in my studio.  I am sorry I did!

Thick and thin paint creates great depth in the painting.  Bits of orange create an added color interest.

Hope you like it!

"Shortcut" Contemporary Landscape Of Rural Maui, Hawaii by California Janet Bludau

6" x 6"

Framed or Unframed

Looks wonderful in a chunky floater frame

If interested in a photo, email me at:  bludauart@gmail.com

Years ago I lived on the island of Maui in what is called the Upcountry area.

With the higher elevation, the weather is similar to California but with more rain.

Nearby I had Flower Farms, Cattle, Horses, A Winery, Botanical Gardens, even a volcano.

Shortcut was painted from a photo taken out my back door to the fields below.

Blue Seas Contemporary Landscape/Seascape Paintings by California Janet Bludau

8" x 8"
Oil on Archival Panel
Panel Paintings are easy to frame in traditional frames or they look wonderful in a floater frame.
I have had collectors request a sawtooth hanger attached to the back so the panel may hang as is
and they also do very well sitting on tabletop easels.
Blue Seas was created primarily with a palette knife to achieve this look I like so much of thick paint
combined with the brush strokes.  I like the texture this creates.
 There is a faint orange horizon peeking through in several places.

City On The Bay 10" x 20" Abstract Palette Knife Landscape Painting by Janet Bludau

The image that shows here of this painting makes the size look just slight longer than wide.

It is actually twice as long as the width.  If you would like a more accurate image sent to you just email me at:  Bludauart@gmail.com

I am very pleased with the results - especially the thick, yummy blues and greens of the bay.

This painting started out quite different, as many paintings do for me.

I honestly can't remember the original painting.  After it dried, I just wasn't happy with it.  I then painted pretty much the same painting you see above but in a completely different color palette.

It dried - boring.

Such is the life of a painter.  And of a perfectionist I suppose.

Low Tide 10" x 10" Palette Knife Abstract Landscape by California Artist Janet Bludau

Bits of red underpainting show through.  This painting is a combination of palette knife and brushwork.

The Newport Beach Back Bay was my inspiration for this painting.  

The bay changes its look often as the tide goes in and out.  Also depending on the season (yes, California DOES have seasons!) you may find it quite colorful!
