Coastal Wall Art Sarasota - Lakewood Ranch - Tampa, Florida

 

© 1990-2024 Coastal Art by Jill Saur all rights reserved

Coastal wall art brings the serene beauty of the ocean into your home, evoking feelings of relaxation and tranquility.  Featuring beach landscapes, and nautical elements, these pieces often use calming colors such as blues, sandy neutrals, and soft whites.  Coastal art is perfect for creating a peaceful, seaside-inspired atmosphere.  It's a beautiful way to capture the essence of coastal living and infuse your space with a fresh, airy vibe.

My 11"x14" coastal oil painting, "Psalm 100," is available on my website.  I also love to paint commissions. If you have a size and scene you'd like me to paint, let's connect.  Thanks for viewing - Jill Saur

Coastal Wall Art, Sarasota - Bradenton - Lakewood Ranch - Florida

 

© 1990-2024 Painting by Jill Saur, all rights reserved

My watercolor painting of an abandoned boat on Seabird Key captures a tranquil moment where nature and solitude converge. The boat, pulled up on shore, rests on grass and coral stones. The inside of the boat reflects the hues of the sky above—soft blues and muted greys. Mangroves and lush greenery frame the scene, offering a sense of seclusion and peace. It’s a snapshot of calm, where time seems to slow, and the gentle lapping of the water on shore speaks to a quiet adventure. 

Hidden away in the Florida Keys,  Seabird Key is a secluded island.  I've had the pleasure of staying there on a number of occasions and I've taken those memories with me through my life.  In fact, there's a quote in the guest book inside the house that someone wrote, "When blue days come, we will take out our memories and touch them with our hearts, and smile."  I love that!

This 11"x14" watercolor painting is sold, but I have many others on my website gallery to purchase.  Whether you're looking for a small painting or an extra large acrylic on canvas,  I  paint commissions and can accomodate what you need.  Please read what my patrons have to say about commissioning a painting with me.  My studio is in the Sarasota - Lakewood Ranch area.

Does an apple a day keep the doctor away?  With this bright sunny painting to cheer you up, it just may!  "A Time To Speak" bursts with vibrancy, capturing three apples whose lively reds, greens, and golds dance under the light.

The Jersey Shore

Nine years ago, at the Jersey Shore, I was photographing the ocean waves. A child appeared in the foreground standing at the edge of the surf, arms outstretched, as if embracing the ocean itself.

This fleeting moment of an unknown child conveying the feeling of pure, unfiltered freedom, touches my heart. I wish I knew who he was. I'd love to share this photo with him. I'm making this post public because.... you never know.

Koi Painting Giclee by Sarasota Artist

©2005-2025 Jill Saur Fine Art, all rights reserved

“This Isn’t Just a Print. It’s a Celebration of Life.”

Symbolizing strength and perseverance, this embellished koi painting brings a splash of vibrant joy and meaning to any room and makes for a stunning focal point.

“A Collector’s Favorite: Signed, Touched, and Full of Soul.”

Each print is hand-embellished by the artist, signed, and full of color and texture you can feel. It’s an affordable way to own a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.  

My reproduction company (the best in the business) will send the giclee to me rolled up in a tube and I will meticulously hand-embellish it before mailing it to you.  You can take it to your framer and have them put it on stretcher bars.  If you prefer not to frame your giclee, I can order this with extended sides and paint the image on the side.

The link to order this is below.  This comes in either 18"x24" or 36"x48".  Give me a call before you order so that we can make sure you're getting exactly what you want.  You can contact me through my website. Thank you, Jill Saur
