Land And Sea, Contemporary Abstract Landscapes and Seascapes by Janet Bludau

12" x 24"

Oil on Thick Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This painting started out with a solid layer of red paint.

From there, I did a simple drawing with very light, thin paint.

I mixed a few colors I thought I might like to use on my palette.

I then started with brushwork but still staying thin with my paint, being careful not to cover up all of my red undercoat.  After I was happy with my colors on the canvas, I went back in with thicker paint with my brushes and palette knives.  Again, being careful not to cover up all my red beneath.  Lastly, I did some scraping with the side of my knife in the foreground which gives us more grass like shapes and again, more undercoat to show through.

Abstract Beach Scene "Ocean Series 9" by California Janet Bludau

12" x 12"

Oil

Bits of red underpainting showing through.

I suppose I could have titled this painting "Strange Trees"!  They are done by palette knives, as is most of the painting.  The piece is very "edgy" (abstract) - I hope you like it!

Back Bay Design #1 Large Oil Paintings of the Newport Beach California Back Bay in Abstract Contemporary Style

48" x 48"

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This painting was commissioned by a local interior designer for her own home.

She met with me and explained that she wanted two pieces that would hang side by side in the staircase of her beautiful home.  We discussed the palette, general composition and"feel" of the painting. 

My client mentioned liking the abstract quality of my work and she also had noticed that I often left

some underpainting showing through and liked that.  Anyway......... we worked together, meeting several times and here is the first painting!
