Commission A Dog Portrait Painting

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

DO OPPOSITES REALLY ATTRACT?  YOU BET THEY DO!!!!

My 36"x36" abstract oil painting titled, "Square Dance", was quickly snatched up by a collector shortly after I painted it a number of years ago.  

The theme of this painting is, "Opposites Attract".  I applied complimentary colors next to each other to create an evocative synergy.  My patron tells me that everyone who sees this painting wants it.  That makes me smile.

If you're looking for a dynamic expressive abstract painting, please consider commissioning me to paint one for you.  I love working with clients and coming up with a dynamic painting just for them!  And, your satisfaction is guaranteed!

I love Van Gogh.  People often associate Van Gogh with his tumultuous life and don't realize he was a master artist, draftsman, and color theory genius.

A few weeks ago I was inspired to paint this heavily textured palette knife painting using brilliant azure blues, effusive reds, and warm golds.  Although I painted this spontaneously,  I still used my knowledge of color theory and the elements of principle and design.  

After concentrating on using those elements for so many years, they just seem to come naturally to me now.  When someone asks me how long it took me to complete a particular painting,  I'm tempted to reply, "Oh, about thirty years or so."  

This 16"x20" textured acrylic palette knife flower painting is titled, "Red on Blue."  This painting sold through one of my representing galleries.  I'm extremely thankful to have folks who appreciate and love my work.  If you're interested in purchasing a similar original, please consider commissioning a painting with me.

The Importance of Learning to Draw

Van Gogh's Letter To Theo: Learning To Draw

It’s more or less the same with drawing as with writing. When one learns to write as a child, one has the feeling that one will never discover how to do it, and it seems to be a miracle when one sees the schoolmaster write so quickly. Nevertheless, in time one grasps it. And I really believe that one must learn to draw in such a way that it’s as easy as writing something down, and that one must master proportion and learn to see in such a way that one can reproduce at will whatever one sees on a larger or smaller scale. - Van Gogh

Drawing never came naturally to me.  I had to learn.  It was grueling for me, until I finally found a teacher who taught proportioning.  The light went on and I haven't turned back since.

Van Gogh's Trees

Chattahoochee River Painting

Atlanta is a big city and people here don't realize there are thousands of acres along the Chattahoochee River that have been preserved as part of the National Park Service.  When you get out in these areas, you realize you could be anywhere! The scenery is breathtaking, there are no sounds of cars, the air is fresh, and it's quiet!
My 48"x36" acrylic painting of Sope Creek, is titled, "Autumn Promise".  I'm thankful to live in such a beautiful area where I can get lost in nature and have my artistic senses refreshed.

Aspen Tree Paintings

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!   www.JillSaurFineArt.com

Commission A Painting Atlanta, GA.

This morning I was reminiscing how positively wonderful my patrons are. My acrylic palette knife painting, "Rhapsody For You," was purchased to hang in a gorgeous home, over an exquisite fireplace.  My client showed the utmost respect and genuine interest in selecting her painting.  It was rewarding to see her so happy with my work!

This is me with the painting to show the scale of my larger work.  Funny thing, I'm working on an even larger painting right now, and I caught myself thinking, "This canvas just isn't big enough!"  My client wrote the following words describing her purchase:

"I love my painting, 'Rhapsody For You', that I purchased for my home; it has been a fabulous addition!  The painting is very colorful and emotional.  Thank you for this Jill!  Every time I look at the painting, I can feel the joy that you put into the artwork.  I especially like how the painting looks at night, when it seems to glow.  I have the painting above my fireplace, and smile every time I see it!" - Bridgette K. - Roswell GA

My 18"x36" summer acrylic aspen tree painting, "Resounding Joy", was a painting commissioned by some of my favorite clients.  After purchasing their first painting from my gallery, they decided they wanted another piece for a special place in their home.  They wanted summer aspens and we came up with this idea.  Soon after, they commissioned a larger painting for a summer home they were building in the mountains.  How fortunate I've been to have such wonderful and appreciative clients!
