"Symphonic Splendor" By Jill Saur


© 3/2011 "Symphonic Splendor" by Jill Saur, all rights reserved
This 3 ft. by 3 ft. painting is a commission that I just finished.  It is vibrant and uplifting and the blues really make for a great backdrop!  My clients are going to hang this in their brand new home over their river rock fireplace in their main living area.  A painting like this brings a lot of life and warmth into a room and serves to be a focal point.  They gave me a piece of pottery with all these colors in it and a color chart of colors they will use as accents in their home and kitchen.  I prepared a palette of colors and met with them to have them approve what I came up with.  


The next step for me was to design a composition that they would like based on what they told me they wanted.  After I completed several drawings, I emailed them two or three different compositions and they approved one of them with a few changes.  


Since the husband had ideas that he wanted and the wife had ideas that she wanted, I listened to what they both liked and combined both into a preliminary 18"x18" painting that they just loved.  After all of this is done, I don't even have to think twice as to whether a client will like what I do for them.  I was very happy to have them visit my studio this past weekend and have them tell me that they love it!

"Absolute Joy" Mountain Stream by Jill Saur

©2011 "Absolute Love" by Jill Saur, all rights reserved

"Absolute Joy" is a 36"x36" commission that has taken me several months to complete.  My clients are going to hang this in the home they are building on top of a mountain.  They are such nice people, and it was a complete pleasure painting this for them.


I love water.  I am drawn to it and mesmerized by its sound, movement and colors.  It has been a long, cold, and very wet winter here in Georgia.  I look forward to this spring and summer and taking longs walks along the Chattahoochee River and a visit to the ocean as well.

Complimentary Color Painting by Jill Saur

This is the palette for a complimentary color painting that I painted a while back. Then entire palette is mixed from one red and one green. Red and green are complimentary colors (colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel). White is allowed to lighten, and black is allowed to darken.

Complimentary colors look good together when they are side by side. When mixed together, they produce wonderful hues and tones.  This palette produced the painting below which is a scene at the Chattahoochee River.

"Absolute Joy" Mountain Stream by Jill Saur

This is just a snippet of the new commission that I am currently finishing.  I don't want to show the entire painting until it is approved by my clients and I have it archived by my reproduction  company.

I love painting commissions and working with the wonderful clients that come into my life.  This painting was commissioned by clients that have purchased two other paintings from me.  They are building a beautiful home on the top of a mountain  and this painting will showcase the incredible scenery below.

I have named this painting "Absolute Joy" because that is the feeling that I first had when my sister showed me the photograph that she took of this scene.  Gina is a great photographer and she goes to great lengths to get a great shot.  Thanks Sis!

"Circle of Quiet - One" Aspen Tree Painting by Jill Saur

©2006 - 2011 Jill Saur Fine Art, all rights reserved

This painting "Circle of Quiet - One" is 36"x48" and is an acrylic on canvas.  The sides are painted and therefore it does not need framing.  It has a companion piece that I will post next.  However, it stands on its own and can be sold as such.

This is an unusual painting and has a mystical glow when the lights are dim or strong.  In a world where so many paintings are similar, this one really stands out and makes a statement.

I called it "Circle of Quiet" because it is a peaceful painting and symbolizes reflection and solitude.  I love these trees and I hope it shows in my rendering of them.

"Afternoon Dream" is the title of this painting.  It expresses the mood of a summer afternoon in a meadow of aspen trees, with no other cares other than to take in beauty of the day.  This painting is sold but I have many others like it on my website.  If you have a particular size that you are looking for, I specialize in commissions.  I am working on two large commissions right now.  I invite you to become a collector and experience the joy of owning your own original!
