This 8 x 8 oil on Board was painted from a photo I took while on one of my many Back Bay (Newport Beach, Ca.) walks. Walk? Hike? What do you call it when you have a friend who, even though she has shorter legs than I do, is always a 1/2 stride ahead of me. I go as FAST as I possibly can and she's always ahead........ Sorry - tangent. The Back Bay is a beautiful place to paint also. The colors are always changing depending on the time of day, time of year. The mustard is just now blooming so I am going to have to remember my camera tomorrow.......

Back Bay Waters by Janet Bludau
I can't remember a time that I didn't have an artistic pursuit but I found my true love with painting. Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program. I am fortunate to have had wonderful instructors as well as the insightful critiques of my fun, fellow painters.
