Today's Quotation: (from the book)
"I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.
I may never complete the last one, but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I have been circling for thousands of years, and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song..."
~Ranier Maria Rilke

Sacred Mountains-Landscape Oil Painting Of Mountain Peaks, Clouds and Waterfall by Marina Petro

ARTIST~MARINA PETRO, SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY USA

"Sacred Mountains"
20x24 inches
Original visionary oil painting on stretched canvas
Purchase securely at my ETSY SHOP or email me for other purchasing options.
I have this piece listed for a very reasonable price...just reduced to $399 and part of my studio clear-out effort.

This is a painting I completed some time ago and had upstairs in my stock of paintings that wouldn't fit in my studio. When I brought it down to have available at my Open Studio this Sunday, it looked completely different and I could really appreciate the atmosphere present. For me, there is an uplifting quality to this piece. Seeing it again brought back the memory of how I was feeling when I painted it. The photo is probably a bit lighter than the actual painting but, you get the idea.

I was interviewed by Kjelene Bertrand of Voices of Success Radio the other day. Here's the link if you'd like to listen...RADIO INTERVIEW   Click on the first link with  my name. For you local folks who would like to promote their business, I strongly suggest you contact Kjelene at her WEBSITE.The cost is so reasonable. Much more effective than other forms of advertising.

Today's Quotation: "You ought to be able to say that a painting is as it is, with it's capacity to move us, because it is as though it were touched by God. But people would think it a sham. And yet that is what's nearest the truth."

I've heard that it's difficult to capture the texture of peaches but I think I did a pretty good job of that. I am ambivalent about the background in this painting but decided to leave it as is. What do you think? You can leave comments at my blog...link is below.
