As a child and as an adult, I've always wished I had wings or were self-propelled and could fly. I have always been fascinated with the moon and immediately am awestruck whenever I see pictures of the universe. I feels like my natural home...probably why it's so natural for me to paint these celestial visions.

The full moon never ceases to invoke fascination and mystery for me. Perhaps someday we will be pitching our tents there. I heard a news report yesterday, that scientists have confirmed water on the moon. Driving in my car today I heard someone else saying that our planet will be inhabitable at some point and we will have to go somewhere else...and possibly...the moon...

I'm also happy to announce that my paintings from "The Zone" series will be making their debut in a special exhibit at House Of Creative Soul, in Saratoga Springs. The opening reception is this Saturday, Oct. 3 from 6-8 pm. Click MY NEWSLETTER for details, colorful pics of some of the paintings, and an article I've written on INTUITIVE PAINTING.

"Garden Of Light" Oil Painting Of A Beautiful Garden Landscape,Light Streaming, Clouds by Marina Petro

Garden Of Light

Oil on Canvas
SOLD

Artist~Marina Petro, Saratoga Springs, NY USA


Another painting direct from my imagination. It is here in my studio dressed up in a gold frame and it is beautiful. When I need to calm myself down, I enter one of the gardens I've painted in my imagination. Almost always they bring a sense of peace and tranquility. I consider this type painting 'Healing Art.' If anything lifts your spirit and and you experience a sense of opening around your heart it falls into the category of healing. At least that's my take on it.

A little humor for today. Garfield and friend belonged to my beautiful mother who is no longer with us. I miss her a lot. She loved Garfield and had a collection of Garfield toys, including a small stuffed one that graces the windshield of my car. I feel it is my mother looking out and protecting me. The one pictured in today's painting is a small wind up toy that rocks back and forth. It's hilarious...for me anyway...Hope you get a smile out of this...

May this little angel descend into your lives and bring blessings from Heaven to you. She is another product of my spontaneous intuitive painting. I began the painting with a dark background and began working white in lightly to create the mist. I thought an angel would be appropriate here...held my breath...and with a few strokes, she was born. Planets and stars were added in later. I'm not always that lucky...sometimes I create quite a mess...

This piece is one of my favorites. I've ordered a frame for it along with others that have been significantly delayed. I will include it in my exhibit next month at House of Creative Soul in Saratoga Springs, NY unless someone falls in love with it and scoops it up here or the frames are not delivered.

I keep forgetting how messy it gets when painting with black oil paint, which is one of the colors that stays wet longer than others. I've been working on another larger painting which has a black background. I painted the black in with acrylic which dries almost instantly. I can then go over it with oil paint near completion.

Right now I am VERY frustrated. I created this post before, went to publish it online and the whole thing disappeared. I was lamenting that it was getting late and I haven't been able to get into my studio...Hopefully this one will publish and I can extricate myself from my computer and finish up a painting that is calling to me from my easel.

I've created a webpage of my available small paintings. Take a look!

Can you tell I'm a fire sign? Aries to be exact. This is another piece painted spontaneously from my imagination. When I've done a few representational pieces such as my still life paintings or larger landscapes, and want to just let go and relax, I will pick up a canvas at random and just begin to paint with whatever happens to come through the brain/brush connection. 'Fire Storm' is the result of one of these sessions.

I am happy with how this painting turned out...another little piece from my imagination, painted spontaneously/intuitively. I am painting a 30x40 inch canvas black around the sides to prepare to paint a much larger painting from "The Zone" series than I've done before. I think my imagination is expanding and I need more room. Hopefully, I'll have it finished by the time my exhibit rolls around in early October...we'll see...

"Firebird" Oil Painting of The Phoenix Rising by Marina Petro

Artist, Marina Petro, Saratoga Springs, NY USA

"Firebird"
30"x40" Original oil painting on stretched canvas.
Email Me to inquire about purchasing this one of a kind painting.

This is the second phoenix rising I've painted. For years, I've had another image of the phoenix that I'd like to paint. I haven't attempted it yet, though. I am a bit chicken. It will be like no other phoenix. I can feel its energy and presence around me often and I'm just waiting for the familiar intuitive 'signal' I get when it's really time to do something. In any case, all of you will be the first to see it...

Today's Quotation: The centipede has rhythm and flow in its hundred legs precisely because it does not have to think about it. Consider this the next time you move the instruments of your art.

Well,folks, this is the last in the series of paintings from "The Zone." I've been a bit distracted lately and haven't painted as much as I'd like. I'm preparing to exhibit this series for the first time next month in its entirety. I'll also be exhibiting some of my small daily paintings. I've found some great small plein air frames to dress them up in and the gallery owner is quite happy to display them as well.

Another painting full of surprises for me. The masks/faces in this one seem ominous, don't they? I'm keeping this brief tonight. We had a power failure and everything came to a screeching halt for a few hours and I've got to catch up...and...paint.

This piece is a bit more cheerful/whimsical than some of the others in this series. I particularly like the little creature at the bottom left. I firmed up the details for the very first exhibit featuring these paintings with House of Creative Soul, a local art gallery in Saratoga Springs. I'll keep you informed as we progress.

The stem, leaves and shadow are my favorite parts of this painting. It's unusual to find fruit around here with longer stems and leaves attached. It's even harder to get them home intact. More than once I've crazy glued the leaves back on...I will be making a trip to the apple orchard a few miles from here to find some new little models. I'm hoping they might have a pear or peach tree too...

I really love painting hearts. It makes me feel happy and...they are so easy to paint. I'm thinking about painting an entire piece with just hearts. Busy day today...I have a painting class in the morning, will pick up my granddaughter afterward and deliver paintings to two galleries for group exhibits, lunch, and off to do some fun back to school clothes shopping.

One of the blogs I post with, Daily Painter's International Art Gallery has decided to offer the first seven days in each month as 'sale' days for artists who want to offer their paintings at reduced prices. I'll be posting another painting 'on sale' later today when I return.
