Abstract Water Reflection Oil Painting "Docked For The Day" by Janet Bludau

8" x 8"

Another example of brush and palette knife work in combination.

The thicker paint usually brings the subject to the foreground.  You can see
 this in the Water Reflection, Dock, Boats, and Pilings. 

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.

This was a fun painting to create.

A Palette Knife works beautifully when painting boats.  All the lines and ropes and ties are made easier by these wonderful tools.  Especially when you get creative and open your kitchen drawers.  In this painting I used a long spatula that most people use for flipping pancakes or taking cookies off the cookie sheet!
