Aspen Tree Palette Knife Painting

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

"Symphonic Splendor" By Jill Saur

This 3 ft. by 3 ft. painting is a commission that I just finished.  It is vibrant and uplifting and the blues really make for a great backdrop!  My clients are going to hang this in their brand new home over their river rock fireplace in their main living area.  A painting like this brings a lot of life and warmth into a room and serves to be a focal point.  They gave me a piece of pottery with all these colors in it and a color chart of colors they will use as accents in their home and kitchen.  I prepared a palette of colors and met with them to have them approve what I came up with.  

The next step for me was to design a composition that they would like based on what they told me they wanted.  After I completed several drawings, I emailed them two or three different compositions and they approved one of them with a few changes.  

Since the husband had ideas that he wanted and the wife had ideas that she wanted, I listened to what they both liked and combined both into a preliminary 18"x18" painting that they just loved.  After all of this is done, I don't even have to think twice as to whether a client will like what I do for them.  I was very happy to have them visit my studio this past weekend and have them tell me that they love it!
