Two different paintings of the same subject. The top painting is 8x8 oil on board and the bottom one is 12x12 oil on board. I took this photo on Balboa Island in Newport Beach one day when I was walking. I don't know who the boat belongs to but it is certainly someone's old friend, taking them from the island to the peninsula and back, over and over again - Old Faithful they could have been titled. If you have any comments on the difference of the two, I would love it hear from you.

Balboa Island Dinghy(s)-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.
