About The Artwork
From my "Alpine Europe" series: Of all the many breathtaking sites along Lake Como in Northern Italy, from Villa Carlotta to Bellagio to a multitude of spectacular private properties, this lovely villa and it's awesome landscape was my personal favorite. The water view from every angle was simply stunning. So much so that I had a difficult time deciding on which angle to use for my painting. My choice was based on the position of the sun and it's impact on the structure and property as well as the imposing façade of the architecture itself. Villa Balbianello was built by Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini (1725-1796) at the end of the 18th century. It is known for its picturesque gardens, which exclusively feature flowers and trees the colors of the Italian flag: green, white and red. It has one of the most enchanting views of the lake and surrounding hills. The villa has had many owners throughout the centuries. It was completely renovated by it's last private owner; the famed explorer, Guido Monzino renowned for climbing Mount Everest in 1973. Currently, the villa belongs to F.A.I. – the Italian equivalent of the National Trust.

Art and the natural world have been the driving forces that have shaped Jerrys life and career. Self-taught, Jerry can not remember a time when he wasnt painting, studying art and the great artists, or developing an affinity and never-ending infatuation with the phenomenal beauty of Nature.Collectors of Jerry Sauls work appreciate the fine detail, perspective and imaginative use of light simulation with which he portrays an innate understanding of his chosen subjects. As I see it, the challenge to me as an artist, is not only to paint nature in all her glory and diversity, but also to capture the emotion a scene evokes and incorporate that emotion into the mixing of paint on my palette and into my brushstrokes as the paint is applied to the canvas. Detail, color and texture are as important to my work, as light and the elements are to nature.When planning a new work of art, I like to think about something I have experienced, and how the image can be influenced by natural elements like light and weather. Often, I will begin working with a particular image in my mind, and as I progress, wonderful things seem to happen, transforming my visual image as it is passed onto the canvas. As a result, the completed work is sometimes very different from my original vision.
