Early Evening Mist~Lake George

EARLY EVENING MIST ~ LAKE GEORGE, NY

20 x 16  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.

This ultra serene original oil painting was created from a photograph my daughter, Yvonne, shot along the famous Million Dollar Beach in Lake George, NY. As soon as I saw her photo, I knew I had to paint it.

Photo above does not do the painting justice at all! It is much more beautiful in person.

I am looking forward to paint Lake George again this Saturday. I was invited to join the Adirondack Pastel Society in a Plein Air painting day at the beautiful Wiawaka Center For Women. Haven't decided whether I will bring my acrylic or my oil paints. I will keep you posted...

LAKESIDE~Original Oil Painting of Lake George, NY by Marina Petro

"Lakeside"
11 x 14  inches
Original oil painting on stretched canvas

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

"LAKESIDE" was painted plein air on a very beautiful summer morning on the shores of Lake George in upstate NY. I arrived at the site on Million Dollar Beach at 8 am. Everything was changing rapidly...clouds, light, wind, etc. It was challenging but I am happy with the result. 


Today's Quotation:  "The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you; Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want; Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep."

This is the first painting I completed during the plein air workshop with Harry Orlyk a little under two weeks ago. I thoroughly enjoy the spontaneity and intense observation required with painting outdoors. Below is a photo from the top of the hill that includes the portion of the landscape I decided to paint....and the picture I took of the painting on my easel. 

If all goes as planned tomorrow, I will be treking out with my painting buddy, Debbie,  to paint more of the early Autumn landscape around these parts...not sure where yet....


Today's Quotation: "Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of trusting your instincts, of taking yourself by surprise and snatching from the clutches of your well-organized routine a bit of unscheduled pleasure."
