Ulupalakua View, Maui - Janet Bludau
This 6x6 oil on board was completed earlier in the year. As with many of my paintings I have used both palette knifes and brushes. I love the combined effects of the rough and smooth, thick and thin.
I joined the Palette Knife Painting group online not too long ago so you haven't seen this one yet! I lived on the island of Maui for 5 years and this was the view from a friend's porch in Ulupalakua. The water you see in the distance would be Makena Beach. This is a beautiful part of the island and shouldn't be missed if you find yourself there!

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.
