Abstract Seascapes Sarasota/Bradenton

Owning abstract paintings offers more than just decorative appeal; it brings a sense of personal connection and emotional resonance to a space. Abstract art allows viewers to interpret the piece in their own way, making it a unique and personal experience for each individual. It can evoke emotions, spark creativity, and inspire new perspectives, enriching the environment in which it is displayed. Additionally, owning original abstract works supports artists and adds value to a collection, as each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation that embodies the artist’s vision and energy. The dynamic and timeless nature of abstract art makes it a versatile choice for any setting, offering both aesthetic beauty and a profound, intangible value that grows over time.

This 9"x 12" cold wax and oil medium painting is titled, "Genesis."  This painting and other abstract works of art, are available to purchase on my website.  

I also love to paint commissions and I can paint the canvas size your looking for, with the colors to enhance and compliment your space.  Thanks for viewing - Jill Saur

Commission A Seascape In the Sarasota/Bradenton Area

 

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

This abandoned boat on the beach, "Rhapsodic Blues", was inspired by a vacation on a small island in the Florida Keys, where I came across this enticing scene.  This 14"x11" acrylic palette knife painting is rendered in the impressionistic style of Vincent Van Gogh, one of my favorite artists.

This painting is sold, but I love to paint commissions and can render a similar painting for you.  The great thing about commissions is that you choose the size of the painting that best suits your needs.  My work is usually purchased to create a focal point in a room and to bring uplifting colors and feelings into a home or office.  Click on the link below to see what my patrons say about commissioning a work of art.

My studio is in Lakewood Ranch, Fl.  I meet with clients by appointment.

I invite you to become a collector and experience the joy of owning artwork that inspires and uplifts your soul.  My Website:  CLICK HERE

Commission A Pet Portrait Painting in Sarasota, FL

 My lovely client, Alison, commissioned me to paint her beloved dog.  This is, "Bella".  I can't help but spend whatever time is necessary to capture the essence of any creature that I paint and this endeavor was no exception.  

These are my clients words in regards to the outcome of this painting:   "I could not be more pleased at how Jill’s portrait of my dog, Bella, turned out. She truly captured her essence. I love this painting and I will cherish it long after Bella is gone. It definitely exceeded my expectations and my expectations were high because I know what an amazing artist Jill is."

My clients satisfaction is always guaranteed.  I feel blessed that in thirty years of painting, I've never had a work returned or a commission rejected.  Please consider entrusting me with a commissioned piece of your own!  - Jill Saur

Nokomis North Jetty Beach

©2026 Jill Saur, all rights reserved

My painting reflects the quiet beauty of the Nokomis North Jetty Beach, where calm, translucent waters meet weathered stone. Soft layers of blue and green create a gentle sense of depth and movement. This scene captures beachgoers enjoying refreshing moments of tranquility along the shoreline.  This is one of my favorite beaches in Florida.  My husband and I come here often to enjoy the beauty, watch the manatee and dolphins swim, and soak up the tranquility.

Coastal Painting by Jill Saur

This 36"x36"x1.5"  seascape, "Into The Deep Blue," transports the viewer to the edge of the ocean just before a storm rolls in. Layers of moody, rain-laden clouds sweep across the horizon, their dramatic grays and violets contrasting beautifully with the luminous turquoise and deep blues of the water below. In the foreground, vibrant clusters of orange kelp float gently atop the surface.  This painting captures both movement and stillness — the rolling sea beyond the rocks hints at nature’s raw power, while the tidal pool in the foreground invites quiet contemplation.

This painting would make a striking centerpiece in any coastal home, modern interior, or collection celebrating the beauty of the natural world.

Palette Knife Painting

The intrigue of a palette knife painting lies in its vibrant texture and dynamic expressiveness. Each stroke of the knife adds layers of depth and dimension, creating a sculptural surface that invites viewers to explore every ridge and groove. Below, the bold colors and sweeping movements of my painting, capture my emotions and energy, resulting in a work that feels alive and spontaneous.

My 30"x30" acrylic abstract painting, "Both Sides Now," invites the muse within.  Geometric shapes countered by loose gestural marks suggest fluid motion as well as restraint, a confluence of characteristics in our human nature.  Accents of red punctuate the composition, adding moments of energy and visual pause.  This is a striking piece that would compliment any room.

This can be seen and purchased on my website under Abstracts.  I also paint abstract commissions.  You get to pick the size and colors! - Jill Saur

Nokomis Beach North Jetty Oil Painting - Original Coastal Art Nokomis, Sarasota, Naples, Florida

My 8"x10" oil painting captures the ever-changing mood of the Nokomis North Jetty in Florida, where sky and sea meet in a conversation of movement and light. Layered brushstrokes and a cool coastal palette, evoke the steady rhythm of waves breaking against the shore, while the expansive sky suggests both openness and reflection. The horizon draws the viewer outward, inviting a pause—an experience of the salt air, shifting clouds, and the timeless presence of the Gulf.  This is a powerful little piece.

Original Abstract Coastal Art In Blues Acrylic Coastal Painting by Jill Saur 30"x30"x1.5"

"Eloquent Blue," invites the viewer into a quiet, flowing moment—where soft blues and sea-glass greens drift across the surface like moving water. Gentle layers and atmospheric brushwork create a sense of calm and spaciousness, while subtle earth tones anchor the composition, suggesting undersea coral, memory, or passage. The overall effect is peaceful and contemplative, evoking the rhythm of waves and the restorative stillness found near the water.
