I rendered these two 36"x48" aspen tree paintings as if they were aglow by the light of the moon in the dark of the darkest night.  It's no secret that I love aspens!  These two large paintings, "Circle of Quiet One" and "Circle of Quiet Two", are hanging in Matilda's fine Art Gallerie in Historic Roswell, GA.

Aspens in the fall are a site to behold.  This painting was inspired by a trip to Colorado with my wonderful sister.  Aspen trees are amongst the oldest living organisms on the planet and they can grow a new tree from their root ball.  I love the symbolism they carry and the beauty they hold for those walk amongst them.

This painting, "Autumn Green", is an original acrylic on canvas and measures 11"x14".  It has texture in the trees and foliage and has a lovely warm glow when the lights are dimmed.

This one is available by contacting me through my website.  Thank you for viewing.

Dramatic and emotionally engaging, this powerful painting emanated from the depth of my soul.  Filled with metaphor, this 20"x16" acrylic painting is titled, "Paso Doble".  It reflects the dance of life.  Sometimes the dance is soft and melodic, while at other times the dance is so dramatic, it requires the fortitude and strength of a matador.  

"Paso Doble", along with a Certificate of Authenticity, can be acquired from Contemporary Fine Art International, by clicking HERE.  To see more of my work, please visit my website at www.JillSaurFineArt.com.

"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", is richly textured on the trees, revealing their "bone structure" against the value tones of winter. The title suggests that 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.

Estes Park, Colorado, is one of America's treasured National Parks that I hope to return to someday.  If you ever get a chance to visit, be sure you spend a day up at Bear Lake!  We came away with some incredible photos for me to use for subject matter to paint.  This 11"x14" acrylic painting, "Autumn Inspiration" is inspired by one of my walks up at Bear Lake. The aspens were just beginning to change.  The brilliant hues of the quaking leaves, against the azure sky, captured my spirit.

My original aspen tree painting, "Abundant Memories", is a 36"x48" acrylic painting on a wide border canvas, with the sides painted, eliminating the need for a frame. 

When I work on these large canvases, I first execute a warm under painting to give the entire canvas a glow that will translate through to the finished piece. In the daytime, my work is bold, vibrant and full of life. In the evening, it emanates a warm glow, creating an ambient focal point for the room.

This painting is currently available to purchase by contacting me through my website. Thank you for viewing! www.JillSaurFineArt.com

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."

Edgar Degas

"Sequestered Dreams" is a big painting with a lot of imagination.  It's playful in an elegant way.

The eyes on the birch and aspen trees have a way of mesmerizing the viewer.  I love aspen and birch trees because they symbolize giving, strength, reaching for the light, and connection.

"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

My favorite tree down at the Chattahoochee River, hangs on to life through one lone root in the hard clay soil. This is my place, my heart, my inspiration for many of my paintings.  To see my artwork, please visit my website.  CLICK HERE

Today, I reflected back on my 16"x20" acrylic abstract tree painting, "Fire and Water".  While painting this deeply emotional piece, I watched it emerge before my eyes as if I wasn't painting it, it was painting me!  

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you". Isaiah 43:2

Trees in art, my favorite subject to paint!  What's the allure?  Since the beginning of time, in fact since Genesis, trees have been and continue to be used to teach us great lessons in life.  In art, I've been inspired by Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh's renderings of trees. 

However, the single painting that influenced my love for telling stories by rendering trees was one painting that I saw when I was a teenager.  In fact, I watched every stroke being applied as the soulful rendering of this one tree came to life.  The artist was my mother.  It was sort of a fantasy painting with a light that emanated deep inside the forest, where a little cabin rested comfortably in the woods.  It wasn't until years after my mother passed away that I heard my Uncle relate what he thought my mother was portraying in this painting.  It was the only time I ever saw my Uncle cry.  

We move so quickly in this world.  I hope as a people we don't forget to slow down and stop to enjoy the beauty and the meaning in our every day lives! 

These two 36"x48" acrylic paintings on canvas are both for sale.  Although they are two separate works of art, they are meant to go together.  Separate, they stand alone as a work of art, together, they complete one another!  Like my mothers tree, these trees emanate a lot of warm light.   www.JillSaurFineArt.com

My 18"x24" acrylic painting, "Winter Solstice", represents the transition between the seasons in our natural world and in our lives. The path challenges the viewer to see life as an exciting journey, even though we don't see what lies beyond.

I hope you can tell by this photo why this is one of my favorite places to sit and meditate down at the Chattahoochee River, about fifteen minutes from where I live. This tree has been the subject for a number of my paintings and I suppose that this photo will be rendered in paint very soon.

Can you see that one root in the foreground? That is the only root keeping this tree alive, and has been for many years. You can literally see the river through the trunk at the base of this tree. It's just an amazing example of sheer "will to survive".

This 12"x12" palette knife acrylic painting on wide-bordered canvas is titled, "Joy".

This piece was inspired from a photograph that I took when I was in New Mexico. I came across a pocket of light that was brilliantly streaming through the woods and reflecting in the water before me. I decided to render this with thick paint, and a palette knife. If there's just a small amount of light in the room, this painting radiates a warm glow.

"Joy", is available on my website. I invite you to become a collector. My patrons always have time to "live with" my work to be sure they're happy with their purchase. I invite you to become a collector and experience the joy of owning artwork that uplifts and inspires your soul!
