"To The Sea" by Janet Bludau, Abstract Landscapes and Seascapes


12" x 12" on Deep Birch Panel
Ready to hang, either alone or with 2 others you can find on my Website: "Meandering" and "As Far As The Eye Can See" 
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.

Land And Sea, Contemporary Landscape and Seascape by California Janet Bludau


12" x 24"
Oil on Thick Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This painting started out with a solid layer of red paint.
From there, I did a simple drawing with very light, thin paint.
I mixed a few colors I thought I might like to use on my palette.
I then started with brushwork but still staying thin with my paint, being careful not to cover up all of my red undercoat.  After I was happy with my colors on the canvas, I went back in with thicker paint with my brushes and palette knives.  Again, being careful not to cover up all my red beneath.  Lastly, I did some scraping with the side of my knife in the foreground which gives us more grass like shapes and again, more undercoat to show through.

Window Sill - Janet Bludau


10" x 10"
Oil on Wrapped Canvas
$125

This was one of those paintings that wasn't thought out carefully beforehand but rather, evolved.  I had started to paint something altogether different and transitioned into this abstracted vase of flowers and fruit.  I hope you like it!
