Dignified Onlookers, Modern, Abstract Landscapes by Janet Bludau

20" x 16"

Oil on Board

This painting will be part of the Southern California Plein Air Painting Association's Annual Art Show in July IF not sold by then of course!

This piece was finished in the studio and done with a limited palette of paints.  Burnt Umber is a color I haven't used much in the past.  It makes for some beautiful new colors when combined with the blues and yellows I use.  

I hope you like it - it is one of my favorite pieces I have painted recently.

"Which Direction For The New Year?" by California Janet Bludau, 12" x 24" Abstract and Impressionistic Landscape

This daily posting thing was a bit confusing to me at first!
On Leslie Saeta's blog this will be Day #3 instead of #1

I just signed up for the Leslie Saeta "30 Paintings in 30 Days" Challenge.

What am I thinking?

I decided that at worst I will fail at the challenge and at best it will get me to paint more.

AND...... this is a LUCKY painting I am posting on January 1 because I started it in December on a day where I also sold 2 paintings.  Finished date is 1-1-14.  This is unless I start noodling at it again which I do often.  But now I have to stop that because I have the pressure of churning out new paintings!

Happy New Year to you all.
