The Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci (Upside Down)

When I was in art school, I learned an invaluable trick from one of my professors.  When I was working on a painting and wanted to really tell how it was coming along, I would turn it upside down, walk away, and study it.  My professor would say, "If it looks good upside down, then you know it will look good right side up".  If something just looked off when it was upside down, it would usually be the key area that I needed to work on when it was right-side up.

Here is one of the most recognized and beautiful paintings of all time.  Just look how exquisite Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, "The Mona Lisa", looks when she is turned upside-down!  Whether you are an artist, or a photographer, if you have not tried this when critiquing your work, I guarantee that it will help!

Landscape River Painting by Jill Saur

Fresh off the easel!  I am calling this 11"x14" acrylic on wide border canvas, "Radiant Destination". It was inspired by one of my haunts down at the Chattahoochee River, here in Roswell, GA.  The warm undertones shine through and this painting just glows in any light.

Van Gogh "Landscape At Twilight"

The artwork of Vincent Van Gogh moves me to contemplation and great emotion.  His paintings were on display at the High Museum several years ago.  I remember walking around the corner and seeing one of his paintings in person for the first time.  As my eyes welled up with tears,  I realized that his troubled spirit found solace in expressing his feelings through his painting.  This was later confirmed when I read one of the letters that he wrote to his sister.

Below, I am providing a link to a video from the Van Gogh Museum.  Van Gogh's studio practice is evaluated with his painting, "Landscape At Twilight".  I think this painting is beautiful and probably was painted during one of Vincent's better times.  This is worth watching!

Onion Painting On Canvas By Jill Saur

It's no secret that when I am not rendering aspen trees, that I love to paint onions, pears, and just about any colorful thing that comes out of the ground or grows on trees.  I love to add rich texture that makes you feel like it's just going to come off of the canvas.  This 11"x14" acrylic painting is entitled, "Preparations".

I invite you to become a collector and experience the joy of owning artwork that uplifts and inspires.  Please visit my website to see more of my work.  CLICK HERE

Lionfish by Jill Saur

"My Blue Heaven" is 18"x24" and is an oil on canvas.  My love for the ocean and all of its creatures inspired me to paint this several years ago.  This is one fish you definitely want to look at but not touch.  It's extremely venomous!

This painting remains in my collection.  However,  I do invite you peruse my website and become a collector of artwork that inspires and uplifts the soul!

Aspen Tree Painting "Aspen Afire" by Jill Saur

Have you ever stood among a grove of aspen trees and heard the fluttering of their leaves in the wind? Or, have you ever been amazed by their beautiful white trunks glistening in the sun against a backdrop of rich and bold hues? This 36"x48" painting, "Aspen Afire", was inspired from one of my trips to Colorado and a secret place that few people know about, where the some of the oldest aspens in world grow. It's breathtakingly beautiful.

"Angels" by Jill Saur

"Angels", a mixed media painting on wood, was inspired by an encounter I had the last time I saw a dear friend. As I said goodbye to her and walked away, I had a brief vision of heavenly angels. The next morning, she was in a car accident that took her life. She was a kind, dear person with a gentle heart. This painting, which remains in my collection, is dedicated to her.
