HIDDEN IN THE GRASS
While in Minnesota a few years back, my husband and I discovered a tiny little nest hidden in the tall grass. I was amazed at how many eggs were in it. This painting is one of several from that memorable trip.

Tree Art by Jill Saur
"A tree against the sky possesses the same interest, the same character, the same expression as the figure of a human." - Georges Rouault (French Painter) 1872-1958
Fresh off the easel, my 11"×14"x1" acrylic palette knife painting "Delightful Encounter", has loads of texture. This painting was inspired by one of my "special trees" that I like to photograph down at the Chattahoochee River.
This painting is available to be purchased by contacting me through my website.

Aspen Art by Jill Saur
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

A Ladybug for Suzanne, Monica Burnette
Whenever I see a ladybug, I think of my artist friend Suzanne. She does the most amazing bug paintings -- and the most amazing other paintings too.
Suze, I painted this while thinking of you and Tim, and sending healing thoughts your way. I hope that like this ladybug, you will come out into the light, and that you might see a bit of color in the darkness too. Email me your address and I'll send it when it dries.

Berry Friends by artist Cathy McIntire
 |
| BERRY FRIENDS, 5x7", oil on canvas panel See my website, CathyMcIntire.com |
 |
| Detail |
This classic still life of strawberries in a small format makes Berry Friends a natural for display in a kitchen, on a bookshelf, or most any place that could use a spot of color and a smile.
This oil on panel was a delight to paint, from life, because all the colors of the berries were right in front of me, along with the wonderful smell of the fresh fruit. I often paint from photographs, so this exercise reminded me that a three dimentional subject is a refreshing perspective to revisit.

Trees In Art by Jill Saur
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 Taos, 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!

Aspen Artwork by Jill Saur
"Inspiration is not a sudden light from space but a compulsion born of sharpened observation and perception". - Bud Biggs, American Artist, 1906-1985
I don't paint what's popular, what other people paint, or even what I think I should paint. I paint what I'm "driven" to paint. The elements and principles of design, color theory, and technique are instruments in the symphony but they are not the conductor, I am.
Perhaps that's why I titled this 36"x48" acrylic painting, "Symphonic Twilight". In the twilight hours, I was inspired by an aspen grove in New Mexico. There was just a hint of purple and I just ran with it! If there is just a hint of light in the room, this painting just glows.

Chattahoochee River Painting by Jill Saur
"Here, on the river's verge, I could be busy for months without changing my place, simply leaning a little more to right or left". - Paul Cezanne
"Soliloquy" is the title of my 48"x48" acrylic on canvas painting. This is simply my expression of what I feel when I am down by the Chattahoochee River, not far from where I live. This is my refuge away from everything that's NON-RIVER. This painting hangs in my home. This way, when I'm not at the river, I'm at the river!
Though the original hangs in my home, a hand-embellished, limited edition giclee is available to purchase on my website. CLICK HERE
