This cheerful piece was created in a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm and energy! There is a great deal of texture in this colorful creation. I hope the creative 'vibes' are felt and carry over when viewed. What a great housewarming gift his painting would make....or just a permanent place in your home to cheer you. It is framed in the floater frame pictured above.

I began painting "Joyful Garden" this past weekend in Vermont while attending a palette knife workshop presented by Cynthia Rosen.  I completed it on my return home. The inspiration for this painting was a photo of one of my beautiful gardens. I am looking forward to painting more floral pieces outdoors this year... spring through autumn.

Kissed By The Sun, Still Life Citrus Fruit Painting," by Marina Petro


Kissed By The Sun
8" x 8"
Oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas
Still Life Fruit Series
SOLD
Only one in the entire universe...and it could have been yours!


Here is the 'sister' painting to "Sun Kissed" that I featured in my last post. It sold yesterday at Etsy.
I like this painting quite a lot and will most likely create a much larger version of it.

As usual, I am torn between the different styles and subject matter I love to paint. I've been working on a series of Equine Portraits much of the time....however, I took a short break from my furry friends to paint a small still life and am working on another small one at the moment.

My plan is to visit the backstretch at the Saratoga Springs Racetrack to take pictures for reference paintings. I'll also go to the track but really don't like the initial hassle of getting in there with the traffic, parking and all....a little voice just told me 'get over it and just get yourself there.' Another plan is to visit Old Friends At Cabin Creek, a retirement home for thoroughbreds and take more pics. I fell in love with Thunder Rumble when I was there a few weeks ago for an equine communication workshop...I really fell in love....I can feel him in my heart.  The light wasn't conducive to photos that day though.

This painting really does glow. I had "Sunflower Glow" displayed on my studio porch and overheard a passerby comment about how happy it made her feel....confirmation that my intention has been realized! 

I painted this piece from a photo with a lot of my imagination added...
