"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.

"Ocean Series 3" Abstract Seascape by Janet Bludau

12" x 12" Oil

Palette Knives were used on this painting to get the variation of paint thickness that I was after.

Hope you like it!

Big Corona Jetty

I have painted both a 6"x 6" and an 8" x 8"oil on board titled Big Corona Jetty.  The darker blue water is smooth brushed.  The sky and jetty paint is applied with various palette knifes.  I love this color combination and hope you do also!  Sometimes people are out fishing on the jetty rocks but when the surf is up, you had better head to shore.  Many boats pass through on the other side of these rocks from the Newport Beach Bay to the Pacific Ocean.  Many are on their way over to Catalina or maybe just fishing for the day.
