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

 

©2025 Jill Saur Fine Art, all rights reserved

 

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

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.

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.

 "A stricken tree, a living thing so beautiful, so dignified, so admirable in its potential longevity, is, next to man, perhaps the most touching of wounded objects." Edna Ferber

This painting depicts two intertwined trees standing in an open landscape beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The trees are gnarled and expressive—thick, textured trunks twist upward, giving way to long, spindly branches that stretch outward in all directions like reaching arms. Their bark has rich earth tones—warm browns, golds, and hints of deep rust—adding vibrancy even in a stark setting.

The background consists of rolling, sienna brown earth and a turbulent sky filled with layered clouds in shades of gray, white, and hints of blue. The brushstrokes are bold and sweeping, especially in the sky, creating a sense of movement and approaching weather. The contrast between the warm tones of the trees and the cool, brooding atmosphere heightens the emotional impact.

Overall, the artwork evokes feelings of resilience, solitude, and natural drama—almost poetic in the way the trees seem to companion one another against the vast, storm-laden sky. The style suggests expressive realism with a touch of impressionistic texture.

Although the original isn't available, this painting is available in a fine art giclee.  People who have bought the giclee, can't tell the difference between the giclee and the original.  My reproduction company is masterful at what they do.

Original Painting by Jill Saur

 

I love Van Gogh.  He was a master artist, draftsman, and he was an expert on color.  Although he painted quickly, he applied his artistic knowledge with every inspired brushstroke.  My work has been deeply inspired by him.

I've titled my new painting above, "Joyful Encounter." I painted this textured palette knife painting using brilliant azure blues, effusive reds, and warm golds.  Although I rendered it in a spontaneous fashion, I applied my knowledge of color theory and the elements and principles and design. 

"Joyful Encounter" and many other paintings of mine are available to purchase on my new and easy to navigate, e-commerce website.  If you're looking for a particular sized painting, why not consider commissioning me to paint an original just for you?  I love to paint commissions. Thanks, Jill Saur

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.

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.
