"SLOW DANCE" by Marina Petro

It's so much fun when I can find fruit to illustrate human activities. These pears appeared a bit mutant when I discovered them...but they intrigued me. As I was shuffling my fruit on the counter deciding on a composition, these pears fit hand-in-glove and made me smile when I thought of them as slow dancing. Now I'm going to have a hard time eating them...Hope they bring a smile to your face too...

"ANGEL LIGHT" by Marina Petro

"Angel Light"

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Email me to purchase

Here is another product of my imagination...(no kidding)
I have been working on a larger piece so it's been tricky producing a small painting daily as a result. There's just so much a girl can do. Hopefully I will be able to pare down some of the daily demands, have the time to complete a small painting daily and continue to work on my larger works. Thanks for looking...

"THE PATH" by Marina Petro

Here is the final painting in the series of three which were painted at Saratoga National Battlefield. I especially like the way the path leads into the sky. They look wonderful together on my wall as a set, but I sure would like to see them on someone else's wall to be enjoyed.

"NOVEMBER" by Marina Petro

"November"
12x16 inches
Oil on stretched canvas
$275 ...email me to purchase

"November" is next in the series of plein air paintings done at Saratoga Battlefield National Park. I revisited this wonderful protected refuge today with one of my daughters. We walked along a beautiful wooded trail and came to an opening with an expanse of hills and fields. The scent of pine was intoxicating ... we saw a few deer. The wildflowers haven't bloomed yet. I'm looking forward to painting there again and again.

Daily Quotation: "Each of us will hear a different voice, one that is unique to us, and we will each be called in a different direction. But once heard, we must find the courage to reunite with that voice and trust where it leads. it is the voice of our truest nature. If we fail to hear it's inner call, we will be less than we might have been and we will never truly find peace and a sense of completeness."

"THE ZONE SERIES" #16-Snakeyes

From "The Zone Series" #16
24x30 in.
Original Acrylic + Gouache
Giclee prints are available on
Stretched gallery wrapped canvas and paper.
Email me for details

I've been a bit under the weather the past couple of days and haven't been painting much. I wanted to share another type painting I've been doing along with what you are familiar with of my work to date. This is another form of purely intuitive painting. I begin each canvas deliberately clearing my mind of any form or intention other than to follow my spirit. I do not mix any colors...just use pure color out of the tube.Painting in this way is very exciting. It's like bringing a whole new internal world into being. I am grateful that I am able to continue to fascinate myself with my artwork.

I have numbered these but resist giving them names. The 'snakeyes' above is my way of identifying each one for easy reference. I might change my mind at some point if it becomes too confusing. I'm not selling the originals at this point but giclees on canvas and paper are available. They are not posted at my website either...that is to come when I redo my website soon. You can see more of them if you click the link below to Tour My Studio.

Oil on Raymar Canvas Panel

For those of you who have been following my little adventure in finding fruit with leaves still attached....Here's another very lucky find. Strolling through our local Farmer's Market last week I approached the 'Apple Lady's' booth with great anticipation. Sitting right on top of the bin of apples were these two little gems...once again...the only two with leaves still attached! The way this has been happening is almost magical. I am very grateful...

"BLUE MOON" by Marina Petro

"Blue Moon"
6x8 inches
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
$50

A blue moon is when the moon is full twice in a month. Here's my blue moon a day late. I don't have much to say today. I've been in Albany,NY at the wonderful Apple Computer store learning how to create my daily painting database in a new application. These little critters are piling up and the need to organize them for easy access was pressing. My left brain hemisphere is on overload and my right brain is nowhere to be found...
