To The Sea by Janet Bludau, Abstract, Palette Knife, Landscapes and Seascapes
12" x 12" on Deep Birch Panel
Ready to hang alone or with "Meandering" and "As Far As The Eye Can See"
These 2 additional pieces can be found on my website
The wood sides have been waxed with a clear Briwax and buffed
There is a red underpainting applied in the first stage of this painting.
After that I have gone in and added layers, changing parts of the painting as I go.
The last stage is where I took several Oil Sticks to the grass areas and also scratched into the oil with palette knives.
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.

Back Bay Design #1 Large Oil Paintings of the Newport Beach California Back Bay in Abstract Contemporary Style
48" x 48"
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
This painting was commissioned by a local interior designer for her own home.
She met with me and explained that she wanted two pieces that would hang
side by side in the staircase of her beautiful home.
We discussed the palette, general composition and general
"feel" of the painting.
My client mentioned liking the abstract quality of my work and she also had noticed
that I often left some underpainting showing through and liked that.
In other areas, she wanted thicker paint (thus the PALETTE KNIFE!)
Anyway...... we worked together, meeting several times and here is the first painting!
