Spring Canyon 1 & 2 Abstract Contemporary Palette Knife Diptych Landscapes by California Janet Bludau

20" x 20"

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

$400 Each

at Chemers Gallery in Tustin CA.

There are times when one canvas just isn't enough.  Sometimes a painter comes across a landscape scene that is so stunning,  you just need more.

These two paintings were created for the Scenes of Tustin show.  They can stand alone or hang side by side with the bottom one to the left of the top one.  It isn't possible on this site to show them side by side I don't think but you can always email me for an image showing this.

I didn't start out planning on doing a diptych.  I wanted to paint two Tustin (a city in California) landscapes and I wanted to paint them at the same time.  I started using the same photo on each of them - a shot I had taken with my sister, who lives in this area.  Soon, I saw that the two were lining up somewhat and it was then that I made the decision.  I would then work on one while the other was off to the side and then when I would put them together again I would laugh at how I had goofed.  After way too may goofs, it wasn't funny anymore...

So, after many adjustments, I think I've got it.

Go check out the Scenes of Tustin Show - the reception is at Chemers Gallery in Tustin Ca

Window Sill

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!

Looks wonderful in a wooden floater frame - email me for a photo

This painting evolved as so many of my paintings do.  I start out maybe with a photo that I have taken.  Pretty soon I have eliminated a portion of it,  added a tree or two,  changed most of the colors and then I think, "who needs this photo anyway?"  This painting could be representative of so many different places.  Each person viewing it could probably come up with a location it reminds them of.  To me, it is view from the home where I lived on Maui.  Beyond the fence you see here (which really was a stone wall with a little gate) was a lower pasture where a friend kept his horse.  The horse was wonderful at keeping the grass down some.  Most of the time you really needed to wear your "wellies" if you were going to stray off the path, as the grass was high and ground uneven.  There were several huge avocado trees in the pasture and in the spring we had sweet peas (low growing kind) growing wild - more than you could ever want.

Back Bay Waters

This 8 x 8 oil on Board was painted from a photo I took while on one of my many Back Bay (Newport Beach, Ca.) walks.  Walk?  Hike?  What do you call it when you have a friend who, even though she has shorter legs than I do, is always a 1/2 stride ahead of me.  I go as FAST as I possibly can and she's always ahead........ Sorry - tangent.  The Back Bay is a beautiful place to paint also.  The colors are always changing depending on the time of day, time of year.  The mustard is just now blooming so I am going to have to remember my camera tomorrow.......

Tree Shopping

This painting is primarily palette knife but with a brushed foreground.  It measures 8 x 8" and is 1-1/2" thick on board.  Inspired by a Christmas Tree Farm on Maui, it is painted from memory, rather than one of my photos.  Most people are surprised to know there are Christmas tree farms in Hawaii but on the slopes of Haleakala, with the higher elevation, the temperature can be much lower than Southern Ca. where I now live.  It was wonderful to prowl around the farm and choose your tree rather than visit the corner, paved lot like I do now!

Balboa Island Dinghy

This 8 x 8 Oil on Board was done entirely with my Palette Knife from a photograph I took while on Balboa Island in Newport Beach.  Thanks for Looking!

Tangerine Meadow

I loved painting this!  I'm not sure if it is the orange that I so love or the feeling of thick frosting on my palette knife.
