Aspen Tree Painting by Jill Saur

I sold this 11"x14" painting the other day.  I had fun painting it.  It's a palette knife painting with lots of texture, giving it quite a bit of dimension.  This is from a scene in New Mexico where I vacationed several years ago.  I must have taken two thousand photos for reference material.

"Symphonic Twilight" Aspen Tree Paintings by Jill Saur

© 2009 Aspen Tree Paintings, Jill Saur Fine Art, all rights reserved

This acrylic on canvas aspen tree painting, "Symphonic Twilight" is 36"x48".  I am mesmerized by the aspen trees in the snow.  My inspiration for this painting comes from the winters that I spent in New York when I was a little girl.  I would gaze at the snow, the stillness, and the shadows of the trees on the icy ground. In this hectic world, it is nice to be reminded of being still. I invite you to become a collector of my work.  Please visit my website and see what my patrons have to say about owning my art.

"Chattahoochee River" Thoughts by Jill Saur

© 2010 Jill Saur Fine Art, all rights reserved

Those who know me, know that I am passionate about painting trees. I wonder if I caught the bug when I was just a little girl watching my mother breath life into her trees as she painted them.  Either way, I began my love affair with painting trees over thirty years ago.  

I have several favorite trees along different sections of the Chattahoochee River.  Recently, I took a long hike along this beautiful river in search of one of my favorite trees.  When I finally arrived at my destination, the clouds overtook the sun, and all of the shadows that I love to photograph had vanished.  So, I returned the next day, walked down the huge hill and hiked back to the same place.  With great joy, I found the sun at just the right place and the shadows were perfect!  This photo is from that day, but not of my favorite tree.  I will share that after my painting is completed.

If you haven't figured it yet, the point of this post is PASSION and DETERMINATION. Passion without determination is like having a great car with no gas in it.  I would have gone down to that river every day if I needed to, just to get the shot that I was looking for.  

When you find what you are passionate about, stay with it, cultivate it, watch it grow, and watch yourself grow with it!

"Snow" Winter Landscape by Jill Saur

© 2008 Jill Saur Fine Art "Snow" all rights reserved

This acrylic painting is sold but I am posting it to share my love of painting snow.  I can't even count all the snow scenes I have painted over the last thirty years.  My earliest snow scenes were painted in watercolor and were mostly birch and aspen trees in the snow.  There is something magical about a nice quiet winter day with the ground covered in snow.  To me, the pristine white snow is a reminder of new beginnings.  I have done many commissioned paintings of clients favorite places in the snow.  Please contact me if I can accommodate you in this way.  I also have pieces that are already available to purchase.

"The Hastening Tree" Tree Art by Jill Saur

This painting, "The Hastening Tree" is 30"x40".  It is in my personal collection, but it is available in a personally hand embellished giclee.  This tree is on the beautiful Chattahoochee River.

What I love about this tree, is that from a distance it appears to be in its prime.  It continues to enamor its viewers with robust alluring shades of green foliage.  At sunrise, the trunk offers striking contrasts of light and dark.  Even the bark is bejeweled with flecks of rich golds, browns, and reds.

The great surprise comes upon close inspection.  The middle base of the tree is completely hollow!  It is absolutely amazing that the tree is entirely supported by the sides and the few roots that make its way to the soil.  This tree is fighting for its last hoorah, its last great moment.  It is reaching to the light and putting forth its branches for all to see.  It’s death will be swift and sudden.  There is no middle ground for this tree.  It is living in splendor and then it will be gone.  I am moved by the lessons it is teaching me and I am compelled to paint it in all of its seasons.  I have actually been photographing this tree for well over two years now.  I have witnessed this tree at sunrise when the first rays of the sun illuminate its weathered trunk and I have sat at its base in the mist of the afternoon when the only hue is a dull grey.   This is when the tree is most haunting and sullen.  My most recent visit was a week ago when the last remnant of fall glistened on its colorful leaves.

I guess you could say that this is one of my special places to go when I need some time to think, pray, evaluate my life, and listen for answers.  Please visit my website to purchase my art.

Chattahoochee River

© 2010 Jill Saur Fine Art, Chattahoochee River, all rights reserved

I took Sky, my dog, down to the river today for a walk in solitude.  It was magnificent!  I love the Chattahoochee and the seclusion it offers. God's beauty is everywhere, but I see it most when I am near the water, and of course, my trees! The fall foliage was spectacular and I got some great shots. I can't wait to get back in the studio to paint!

Rise Early

This painting "Broken Silence" is from a photo that I took at about 6:45 in the morning. For a new and refreshing type of inspiration, get up early and find the morning light illuminating that special thing that inspires you!

Find Something You Love

Many aspiring artists know that they want to paint, they just don't know what to paint. I encourage my students to find something they love and pour themselves into it. Among other things, I love trees. I could paint them for days on end and not tire of their beauty.

This painting is entitled, "Salient Repose". I was taking a walk down at the Chattahoochee River and was captivated by the light on this tree. I knew it

would become a painting, an expression of my impression on that lovely day.
