Aspen Tree Paintings

"Its wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears." - Helen Keller

This painting is all about the sky, then the aspens leading down to the path. Usually, it's the other way around in my paintings. The path takes the viewer where I want their eye to lead. I love this quote from Helen Keller. Think about it, she couldn't see the sky. However, she could smell the fresh air while feeling the wind on her skin (not listening to it).

My 30"x30" acrylic aspen tree palette knife painting on wide border canvas is titled, "Finding Grace". This painting is available for purchase. You can see more of my work and contact me through my website. CLICK HERE

Aspen Tree Paintings

Herman Melville, an early American author, is quoted as saying, "We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects."

My 11"x14" acrylic aspen tree painting on canvas is titled, "Tangled". It was inspired by my trip last year to Kebler Pass, just outside of Crested Butte, Colorado. There was an area up in the pass that contained a stand of brilliantly beautiful young aspen trees. They were so deeply connected that it appeared they were tangled up in one another.

Aspen Tree Painting

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 Paintings

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

Aspen Tree Painting

I love my clients and the owner of "Rhapsody For You" is no exception. This is a 48"x36" acrylic painting on canvas that was purchased to be the focal point of a beautiful home here in Atlanta. My client had a carpenter build a panel over the built in mirror above her exquisite marble fireplace in order to hang my painting.

When she recently saw a new technique that I added to my work, I could see how much she loved and appreciated what I was doing. Two weeks later and I've been to her home, picked up her painting, added my new technique and re-delivered it back to her home. She didn't ask me to make the changes, I offered. She compensated me for my work, but the greatest reward for me was to see her smile when I re-hung her painting.

My father taught me at an early age that "Going The Extra Mile" in life and business is what makes you stand out from the rest. By the way, he didn't teach me that with his words, he taught me that with his actions. - Jill Saur www.JillSaurFineArt.com
