I love Van Gogh.  People often associate Van Gogh with his tumultuous life and don't realize that he  was a  master artist and an expert in color theory.

A few weeks ago I was inspired to paint this thickly textured palette knife painting using brilliant azure blues, effusive reds, and warm golds.  Though spontaneously painted,  I still apply color theory and the rest of 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.  So, when someone asks me how long it takes me to complete a particular painting,  I'm tempted to say, "Oh, about thirty years or so."  However, I just smile and say, "Long enough".

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.

Michelangelo said, "I am still learning."  Personally,  there are still many discoveries yet to be made, paintings to be rendered, and more to learn.  It's thrilling to know there's so much to look forward to!

This is my 48"x48" acrylic palette knife painting, "Absolute Joy".  I had a lot of fun withthis one!  It's loaded with texture and looking for a home where it can be a stunning focal point for all to enjoy.  Contact me:  CLICK HERE  See more of my work:  www.JillSaurFineArt.com
