Seascape Ocean Fine Art Print -An Interesting Story

"Stormy Sea" 
Fine art print

From the original oil painting by Marina Petro

A couple of weeks ago I received an email with a photo of a seascape painting from friends who purchased it at a second hand shop. They were wondering whether  I painted it. The painting was signed Marina Petro. It was obviously old and a bit damaged with a few scratches. I did not remember painting it but thought it was beautiful. 

I asked my friend to take a better picture of the signature and send it to me because I had no recollection of painting this piece (still don’t).  Imagine my surprise when I saw the signature and realized in fact, it was one of mine.

My daughters remembered the painting and mentioned that I created it after a vacation with them  at the Rockport/ Gloucester, Massachusetts sea shore.

I’ve agreed to ‘patch it up’ and return it to its new parents.

FIRE STORM - Abstract Outer Space Night Painting by Marina Petro

"Fire Storm"
8 x 10 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.



"Fire Storm" is another 'fixer upper' painting. The original painting did not have a moon in it or any stars/heavenly bodies whatsoever. It never felt 'quite right' to me. I'm very happy with the result now!

THE PHOENIX RISING - Three depictions of the magnificent Phoenix Rising by Marina Petro

Thought a display of the three Phoenix Rising paintings I've created would be a good start for the new year.

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.

These images are now available as fine art prints in a variety of sizes.  A link under each image will take you to its home at my Etsy Shop.
