"Provence Lavender" Small Abstract Landscape by Janet Bludau


6" x 6"
Oil on Archival Panel
$75 with a complimentary easel
$125 framed in a contemporary floater frame
Another small 6 x 6!  Whenever the Randy Higbee 6" Squared Juried Show is announced I start painting these small paintings.  I finished about 10 of them this time around.  My next step is to decide which ones are my favorites.  You can send 3 images for consideration.  Then you remain hopeful that you will be excepted!  More than 1 piece juried into the show is very exciting and 2 of mine were excepted!  "Provence Lavender" was not sent in to be considered even though it was one of my favorites and also chosen as a favorite by several friends, family members and fellow painters.  I forgot to mention that during this "home judging" period, I ask anyone and everyone who comes into my house, to choose their top 3.  Its gets pretty old when I start eliminating and re-asking my visitors.
Hopefully you are still with me here.........  The reason I did not send in the "Provence Lavender" is that I thought the judges would be looking for value changes, along with other "painterly techniques."  This basically means that there are much darker and much lighter areas in the painting.  If you notice, this painting lacks that - it is more "tonal."

I am drawn to tonal paintings........  Enough said........you are yawning now..........

Abstract Landscape of California Wine Country Lavender Fields "Sonoma Stream" Janet Bludau


6" x 6"
Oil 
$75 includes a tabletop easel
I have been working on a series of wine country paintings, primarily inspired by Sonoma and Napa Valleys.  I find the lavender fields very beautiful as well as the geometric shapes of the farmlands, and the romance of the olive trees.
