Big Corona Jetty - Janet Bludau
I have painted both a 6"x 6" and an 8" x 8"oil on board titled Big Corona Jetty. The darker blue water is smooth brushed. The sky and jetty paint is applied with various palette knifes. I love this color combination and hope you do also! Sometimes people are out fishing on the jetty rocks but when the surf is up, you had better head to shore. Many boats pass through on the other side of these rocks from the Newport Beach Bay to the Pacific Ocean. Many are on their way over to Catalina or maybe just fishing for the day. Paintings come with an easel for display or if you prefer, a sawtooth hanger for wall display. Framing is also an option. Just let me know if you have any questions.

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.

"Cloudy Day Sail" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife oil painting on linen panel
I spent 2/12 hours in the dentist's office today. It wasn't fun. Fortunately I was offered nitrous oxide which I naturally accepted. I was encouraged to think of a pleasant, peaceful scene. So I went back in my mind to a lovely day near the ocean, pounding waves, sailboats a'sailing along. It worked. Now I'm back at home healing.
I have also set up a second website, www.PaintingsOnGlass.com, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats. That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good. Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.
Thanks for looking!
