"Heaven's Gate"

16 x 20 inches
Original oil painting on archival stretched canvas 

Commissioned Painting
SOLD


I held my breath when I emailed an image of the final painting to the person who commissioned me to paint a garden similar to some that I've created in the past. She emailed back that it was perfect and brought tears to her eyes when she saw it. Eliciting that strong emotional response told me that I did 'something right' here. I actually feel this is the best garden painting I've created thus far. It truly has to be seen in person as there is a 'special' quality I haven't captured before.

The person who commissioned the painting wanted an angel included in the painting. She left it up to me to decide whether it would be a defined angel or a suggestion of an angel in the cloud formations or elsewhere.

When I began to paint clouds into the blue sky, angels began to appear on their own. You can't really see it clearly in the photo but there is a definite presence in the upper right of the painting just above the gate.  Can you see the others?

Firebird, Phoenix Rising Art Print From The Original Oil Painting by Marina Petro

©Marina Petro

"Firebird"
FINE ART PRINT
12 x 16 inches

$39.99




This is the third and last Firebird - Phoenix painting I have completed over the years. I am pretty sure there will be more to come...at least one more. 

"FIREBIRD" was painted from my imagination spontaneously. The original oil painting was a large 30 x 40 inches on stretched canvas and purchased several years ago.

The beauty and power of the Phoenix Rising is depicted in this painting. In Egyptian mythology, the phoenix is a beautiful bird that lives for 500 years. It builds its own funeral pyre with wood and spices, sets itself on fire and rises reborn again from the ashes more beautiful than ever to live for another 500 years. The Phoenix Rising is a symbol for resurrection, immortality, triumph over adversity and the indomitable power of the human spirit.

PHOENIX RISING 1 was painted quite a few years ago. The original painting was 24" x 48" and  sold some time ago. It is still being enjoyed by a very happy collector. 

This powerful rendition of  The Phoenix Rising was painted spontaneously from my imagination.

In Egyptian mythology, the phoenix is a beautiful bird that lives for 500 years. It builds its own funeral pyre with wood and spices, sets itself on fire and rises reborn again from the ashes more beautiful than ever to live for another 500 years. The Phoenix Rising is a symbol for resurrection, immortality, triumph over adversity and the indomitable power of the human spirit.
