"Approaching Carmel" Abstract Landscapes by Janet Bludau

14" x 18"
Oil on Canvas 
Parts of my initial underpainting show through the top layer of paint.  In the final stages I added palette knife markings to the painting, further delineating the shape of different crop sections.    Central California provides many photos for my paintings.  I like the geometric shapes of the land and how it all fits together as a puzzle.  Besides the useful photos,  some of my favorite places to visit are in Central and Northern California.  Carmel is at the top of the list.  Carmel is known for its beautiful coast of course.  The countryside of the Carmel Valley is equally beautiful.

"Patchwork Landscape" Colorful, Abstract Inspired by California Farmlands by Janet Bludau


8" x 8"
Oil on Archival Panel
Framed in a contemporary floater
$175
I am not really sure why I am so drawn to painting farmlands and abstract, geometric landscapes.
I mean really...... I live in Newport Beach - land of dogs with their own strollers, more cosmetic surgeons per block than plots of corn or apricots!
I don't garden as much as I used to.  Years back I used to fight with myself:  "You need to get in there and paint....... no, I need to prune and mulch for just a few more minutes."  My daughter's friends called me "The Farmer."  I'm not sure that was a compliment but they were sweet about it.
