"Soulmates"

 8 x 10 inches or 11 x 14 inches
Photograph by Marina Petro


"Soulmates" is another one of the rare landscape photos I captured that I really like. I am better known for my original oil paintings. This photo was taken along Route 32 in the town of Quaker Springs, NY near Saratoga Springs, NY as I was driving through the countryside looking for beautiful and interesting scenery to photograph and paint.

This photo was taken quite a few years ago in the countryside of Schuylerville, NY. I happened upon it as I was randomly driving getting acquainted with this area and looking for interesting spots to photograph and paint. This is one of my favorite photographs.

Cheerful, Color Filled Small Floral Ink Paintings...Original Art by Marina Petro

 Full Bloom
Fly Me To The Moon


Thought I'd share my ink paintings with you again. When I look at them, my mood immediately lifts. To see the full series of seven paintings and all pertinent information, just click the link above.

I've been busy going a bit crazy with organizing all my worldly possessions and discarding/donating a lot. I'm the opposite of a pack rat but nevertheless, have accumulated a considerable amount of 'things.'......even holding on to clothing which are considered antiques at this point in time. All this is in anticipation of a move. More details as things solidify.....

In the meantime, I will be planning a studio and simultaneous garage sale in June. Much of my artwork, prints as well as originals will be deeply discounted. Hope to see some of you there.

"Inferno" Original Abstract Oil Painting by Marina Petro

©Marina Petro

"Inferno"
6 x 6 inches
Original oil painting on archival Raymar canvas panel

Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours!
Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.





"INFERNO" is another painting created spontaneously from my very very active creative imagination. As with most of my abstract and dreamy/spiritual type paintings, I begin by dipping my brush into the first color that attracts me and begin to paint...and on and on like that until a finished painting emerges. This one started with the dark red color at the top left of the painting. 

Today's Quotation: "Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates.
At the first gate, ask yourself 'Is it true?'
At the second, ask 'Is it necessary?'
At the third gate, ask 'Is it kind?'"

©Marina Petro

"Angel Moon"
16 x 20 inches
Original oil painting on stretched canvas

Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours!
Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.




ANGEL MOON is another creation from my imagination. It's always (usually) a very happy surprise when angels decide to be born through my hands, paint and canvas.

Today's Quotation: "I am in love with the beautiful in all its manifestations, from the life of man to that of nature and the infinite. I behold the sky; I think of the infinite. All my art is a metaphysical endeavor to overcome visible realities. I search for synthesis and strive to realize a pictorial poem, with as much lyrical content as possible. A painter is a poet who paints poems."
-Gerardo Dottori

THE FIRST ANGEL, Large Original Spiritual Abstract Angel Art Oil Painting by Marina Petro


©Marina Petro

"The First Angel"
24 x 36 inches
Original oil painting on stretched canvas

Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours!
Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.




I'd originally titled this one-of-a-kind painting  "Genesis" but recently changed the title to "The First Angel" because whenever I looked at it lately I kept seeing an angel emerging from the light.

"The First Angel" is being offered with a beautiful 3 1/2 inch antique frame which, in itself, is worth about $300 if not more.....

This painting was created spontaneously from my imagination. I didn't have anything in mind when I began to place colors on the canvas. I simply began painting, following my creative instinct each moment, and this is what resulted! It's always such a great adventure and surprise when I've completed these spontaneous/intuitive works. I am happy with it and hope you enjoy viewing it as well.

Today's Quotation: "Courage isn't having the strength to go on. It is going on when you don't have the strength."
