My 18"x24", acrylic aspen tree painting on canvas, "Golden Vibrance," hangs in my personal collection.  Bold, eye-catching, and a true focal point for any room, this work of art is available to purchase in a reproduction, either on paper or canvas.  I love embellishing my reproductions to give them the look of an "original."  This work was inspired by one of my trips to Taos, New Mexico in the fall.

Do you have an oversized wall and need an extra large painting?  I love to paint commissions!  Please read what my happy patrons have to say about working with me and see some of my commissioned pieces.  www.JillSaurFineArt.com

Van Gogh's Thoughts


Van Gogh Sunflowers

Several hours before my visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City last year, I read a letter that Vincent wrote to his brother, Theo (below). How ironic that Vincent considered himself a nonentity in the eyes of most people. Fast-forward to today and people flock to the museums to see his work.  
“What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.” - Vincent Van Gogh
While visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I stood transfixed as I gazed at Van Gogh's work.  In 1887, three years before his death, Vincent completed this sunflower painting (see my photo above). I became lost in the texture, the colors, and the feeling of this transcendent piece.  
I love Van Gogh.  I love that despite his misery, he was able to tap into the pure harmony and the music within his soul.  Undoubtedly, he felt his very best when he was able to express himself with brush and paint.  I can relate to that.
The best wines come from grapevines that are grown in the poorest and rockiest soils. When the grapevine struggles, its roots grow deeper, where they ultimately find natures best nutrients. I think Van Gogh's miseries, touched with his genius and spiritual inclinations, created the profound beauty we see in his paintings today.  - Jill Saur

Aspen Artwork By Atlanta Artist, Jill Saur

birch tree painting
©1990-2016 Aspen Tree Painting by Jill Saur, all rights reserved

“A tree against the sky possesses the same interest, the same character, the same expression as the figure of a human. – George Rouault”. (French painter) 

It's no secret that I love to paint trees!  George Rouault's quote deeply resonates with me.

I rendered my 38”x48” acrylic aspen tree painting with brush and palette knife.  I closed my eyes and wandered through one of my trips to Colorado, where the azure blue sky against the dancing white aspen trees ignite endless waves of inspiration.  The title of this painting is, “Resilient Beauty”.  It hangs in the home of one of my patrons.  

To see my available aspen paintings, please visit my website where you'll see I also paint commissions.  Be sure to read my patrons comments. I have a solid record of working with clients for the past twenty-nine years!  www.JillSaurFineArt.com

Reasons To Buy A Jill Saur Original Painting

 Reasons to Buy a Jill Saur Original Painting
The number one reason to buy an original painting from me is because of how much you love it, and how it makes you feel!  I have a solid record of selling to collectors for the past twenty-nine years.  Many of my patrons return to purchase another piece to add to their collection.  One of my ardent clients owns eleven of my original paintings.  She's been collecting my work for the past ten years.  Even though I offer a 100% money-back-guarantee on all of my originals, I've never had a client return a painting.
A great painting sparks the right hemisphere of our brains, stimulating ideas, and ideas are the root of creativity. If you surround yourself with art that inspires you, your life will be greatly enriched!  
Studies in work environments have shown that the productivity of an employee is elevated by as much as 25% when they are exposed to original art in their everyday jobs. Art that makes you feel good can uplift your mood and give you a greater sense of well-being. When a corporate office is enhanced with original art, the environment is elevated to a dynamic level that will incentivize both employees and clients!
My patrons tell me that my art inspires them, uplifts their mood, and gives them a sense of peace.  Whether in a home or corporate office, I'm honored that my paintings are hung in a prominent place for all to enjoy.  
When you buy an original painting from me, you'll have a one-of-a-kind creation that no one else in the world has.  Your painting will become a family heirloom and be able to be passed down to subsequent generations.  
My paintings have aesthetic value.  Because my work is vibrant, uplifting and full of life, the majority of my clients purchase my paintings to be the focal point of their homes. You'll be happy to know that I take meticulous care of my clients, but you'll never forget how my paintings make you feel.  My Website:  CLICK HERE
I'll end with  a comment from one of my patrons:  “Jill, Your works have found a place in our home and in our hearts. “Whispering Path” hangs over our fireplace and on the opposite wall, “Autumn Gold”. No matter what entry you make to our family room, you are drawn down one birch lined life path or another. The contrasts are attractive and walking down either path, in one’s mind, lends a sense of satisfaction and peacefulness . You and your work have contributed so positively to our surroundings and that “glad to be home” feeling. Your paintings, by far, are the best purchases we have ever made for our home.  Thank you. We are proud to be patrons of Jill Saur. With warmest regards, Greg and Deborah” - Dunwoody, GA

Martin Glaser Quote

©2016  Jill Saur, all rights reserved














Martin Glaser, a legendary New York graphic designer, famous for creating the ‘I Love New York’ logo, recently spoke about something that’s dear to my heart.  Martin said, “If you can sustain your interest in what you’re doing, you’re an extremely fortunate person.  What you see very frequently in people’s professional lives, and perhaps in their emotional life as well, is that they lose interest in the third act.  You sort of get tired, and indifferent, and sometimes, defensive and you kind of lose your capacity for astonishment, and that’s a great loss, because the world is a very astonishing place.”

Most of my clients lead very busy lives, are professional businessmen and women, own businesses and some are taking care of large families.  I also stay very busy with my classes, painting, and the business side of what I do.  It takes determination to stop and re-charge the creative side, but it's vitally important.

I’m in the third act of my life and  I still find wonder in observing nature, seeing the cloud formations before a storm, and getting up early to watch the sunrise over the misty waters of the Chattahoochee River. 

I agree with Martin Glaser, the world is a very astonishing place and I hope you're able to take the necessary time to be utterly astonished too! - Jill Saur

Tree Paintings

"If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees." 
- Khalil Gibran

My 8"10".5" oil palette knife and brush painting, "Relinquished", has richly textured trees, revealing their "bone structure" against the value tones of winter. The title suggests the place in life where we relinquish ourselves and open up our hearts and minds to fresh inspiration and new possibilities.

I love aspens in winter. Their beautiful white trunks and dark branches mingle with the dark shadows cast upon the white snow, creating a profound beauty that is best experienced in silence. - Jill Saur
