The California Wine Country is near and dear to my heart.  

I have spent so many wonderful times there with friends, both recently

and in the "good ol' days" when I lived in Northern California.

I hope this to be the first of many similar paintings.

Several of these pieces look great hung together

Another example of brush and palette knife work in combination.

I am wanting to be in this pool right now!

The reflection was painted with the help of a palette knife.  

The knife was also used for the thicker paint on the red umbrella and

soft turquoise sky.

"Abstract Umbrella Pals" Oil Painting by Janet Bludau

9" x 12"

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This piece was already to be packed up for Art In The Park tomorrow and then I noticed that I had red oil paint all over my thumb.  Definitely not dry enough!  Oh well...........

I have way too much I am bringing anyway.  

I am anticipating a nice day in the park with familiar faces strolling by every once in a while but certainly not an art buying frenzy.  I don't think we will have serious art collectors driving in from LA to get first dibs :)  This morning it was like winter here in beautiful Newport Beach.  The streets were wet with drizzle.  Let's just hope we are a bit drier tomorrow.  So wish us all a dry day with, hey, maybe a sale or two at our local, neighborhood art sale in the park.

6 x 6" oil on board.  This is the first of three pieces that I am going to frame together - another triptych!
I posted a pallete knife triptych of the Newport Beach Back Bay a few months ago.  This series of three small paintings is inspired by our California farmlands.  I love the shapes and color variations of the land while driving through or flying over these areas.  If I believed in past lives I think I would have to guess I had been a farmer.  I am the only person I know, living is Newport Beach, who composts!

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.......
