Abstract "Spicy Vacation" Red Umbrella, Pool and Ocean by Janet Bludau


8" x 8" Oil
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.  
Thank you for visiting my site!

"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.

"Matching Scarves" Abstract Palette Knife Contemporary Figures with Umbrella - Janet Bludau


16 x 20 Oil on Canvas
A departure from my "Ocean Series"!
I have done quite a few paintings with the couple and umbrella.  I like to imagine this couple on their way to different events.  Are they in a hurry or just strolling the streets?  Where are they?   Are they  comfortable with eachother or are they guarded - the new date - you get the picture.
Anyway, most of these paintings have been smaller 8"x 8".

Crab Cooker Restaurant by Janet Bludau SOLD, Abstract California Paintings


SOLD at the Newport Beach City Exhibition and Sale
I do this event every year not really expecting to sell anything.  
One reason is that you can only enter 2 pieces per artist.  The second reason 
is that 80% of the attendees are the artists themselves and families!
A woman came up to me and said, "I just have to have your painting - may I buy it?"
YES! YES! YES!
So anyway, it made me happy, as all sales do............

Spicy Vacation 8" x 8" Abstract Contemporary Ocean and Pool Scene by Palette Knife Painter, Janet Bludau


This was a fun painting to create.
Maybe it will remind you of a fun, spicy vacation you have had or need to have!
The reflections in the pool offer interesting movement.

This painting is off to a gallery in Charleston, South Carolina
