"Town", An Abstract, Architectural Painting by Janet Bludau


5" x 7"
Oil on Panel
Day 24 of the 30 Day Challenge
This is a very different painting than I would typically paint.  I am always attracted to architectural pieces and cityscapes.  This one reminds me of a children's book I use to read.  I can't put my finger on the one I am thinking of but it is clear in my mind:  soft colors, line drawings, a woman or girl with her purse over her arm - very proper.  Anyone know?
