I began painting "Autumn Pond" outdoors last autumn at the edge of a pond in beautiful upstate Charlton, NY.  At one point, I didn't like the way the painting was going and started to wipe part of it in downward strokes. When it began to get too chilly and I began to get too tired, I packed up my gear and brought it home where it hung out with the other paintings in my studio for a while.

Below is a photo of a poor little dragonfly that landed on my paint and got hopelessly stuck. Thank goodness my painting buddy Debbie was with me. I won't go into the sad and gorey details but Debbie lifted it off the paint...just glad I didn't have to do it...I'll leave the rest to your imagination...

When I decided it was time to finish the painting I made a feeble attempt to initially 'fix' it  and stay with the image of the more realistic landscape as I remembered it but.....that didn't work either so I began to paint spontaneously/intuitively and stopped when I liked the result! In this photo above, the warm red area seems to be a bit redder and darker than the actual painting. Nothing I can do about it though...sometimes cameras do their own thing....

"Grieving" is the 11th painting I completed in this series.
As I begin each painting, it is with the intention of keeping my mind as clear and free of any preconceived ideas and just dip my brush into the first color that attracts me and follow the movement from brain to hand to canvas or paper. The results are always a complete surprise!


When I finished this painting, I realized that I'd painted a coffin/sarcophagus image with a figure in it. The figure in the middle of the painting appeared to be grieving. Not long afterward, my mother passed away. She was born in Egypt.

Today's Quotation: "Each of us will hear a different voice, one that is unique to us, and we will each be called in a different direction. But once heard, we must find the courage to reunite with that voice and trust where it leads. It is the voice of our truest nature. If we fail to hear its inner call, we will be less than we might have been, and we will never truly find peace and a sense of completeness."
-Marilyn Barrett

Undersea Adventure " Abstract Fantasy Ultra Original Painting" by Marina Petro

"Undersea Adventure" is the 20th painting I completed in this series. The first few were created on paper with tempera paint which I will post at some later time. Can you imagine what it is like to begin to paint and attempt to keep your mind (almost) perfectly clear of images and concepts? Well, it is quite an exercise in being 'in the moment'.  It's more of a surprise to witness the images coming to life on the canvas? Try it some time!

Karmic Lovers, "Abstract Fantasy Ultra Original Figurative Acrylic Painting" by Marina Petro

©Marina Petro

"Karmic Lovers"
24" x 30"
Original acrylic painting on stretched canvas

From "The Zone" Series
Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours!


PURCHASE HERE or EMAIL ME  for other options and inquiries. 

Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.


This painting is from my Paintings From "The Zone" Series. A series of 29 paintings, thus far, which were created moment to moment without any forethought. I consider these paintings ultra original works of art. Try as you might, you won't find anything like these anywhere!


As I begin each painting, it is with the intention of keeping my mind as clear and free of any preconceived ideas and just dip my brush into the first color that attracts me and follow the movement from brain to hand to canvas or paper. The results are always fascinating...a complete surprise!

Today's Quotation: "There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening which is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it."
-Martha Graham

Original oil painting on stretched canvas

$179
Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours!

I began this painting outdoors sitting at the edge of Saratoga Lake in Saratoga Springs, NY. It began to get a bit too cold for me so I brought it home....waited quite a while....and just finished putting the final touches on it from memory and imagination. 

The photo does not do this painting justice. It was difficult to photograph. The white areas of the clouds are a bit whiter but this is the best I could do. The painting is more beautiful in person...but that's usually the case...

Today's Quotation: "We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about."
-Charles Kingsley
