“In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.” – Ansel Adams  

Leita Thompson Memorial Park is a one hundred acre park near our home just outside of Atlanta. In an open field near the entrance, you’ll find this stately old tree resting on a hill.  No doubt, this tree will soon find it's way onto my canvas.  www.jillsaur.com

The tree painting was inspired by a tree down at the beautiful Chattahoochee River in Roswell, GA.  I love to create texture in my art.  Working intuitively, using a variety of palette knives, I layer the paint and watch the scene come to life.  This 11"x14" acrylic palette knife painting is titled, "Delightful Encounter".

As a photographer, I photograph what I see. As an artist, I paint what I remember. This juxtaposition is a beautiful dance. When I walk amidst the aspens I’m moved to capture their beauty. But, capturing them it is not enough. I must reach for the paint, brushes and canvas that will once again set them free. - Jill Saur  My website:  CLICK HERE

This 11"x14" acrylic palette knife painting is titled, "Eye Of The Beholder".   I rendered this aspen tree painting in exciting hues that dance within the texture.  My reference was an image I captured while on vacation in Crested Butte, Colorado.   We spent the entire week up on Kebler Pass where I was in heaven amongst these beautiful trees!

Aspen Tree Art

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.  Fraught with emotion, her painting expressed  feelings that she could never express in words.  I was amazed and captivated by this beautiful medium in which to express oneself!  Paint is my vehicle of expression and trees are most often my storytellers.  

These two 36"x48" acrylic paintings on canvas are for sale.  These works are uplifting and full of life.  The story?  Well, it's in the painting!    My Website

Trees In Art

This is "my tree" at the Chattahoochee River. It's the subject of a number of my paintings. Its life is fraught with meaning to my artistic soul and its sheer will to survive inspires me.  Completely hollow inside the base of this tree, one or two roots running up the side, manage to sustain the life of this warrior.  

My 30"x40" acrylic painting, "The Hastening Tree", remains in my personal collection.  Reproductions are available. www.JillSaur.com
