Here's one more of my little orange gems with one of my favorite fabric patterns as background to awaken your senses.  I might paint this piece and the one posted yesterday on a much larger canvas in the relatively near future. In fact, if there's any of my small paintings you would like in a larger size, I'll be glad to accept your commission.

This painting lifts my spirit. The orange was painted on a wonderful fabric pattern I've used before. The hibiscus flower is actually orange on the fabric, but I thought it would look better in a deeper rose color. Can you see this little gem cheering you up on your kitchen or dining room wall?

It will be available for purchasing at my Etsy Shop until February 1, when I enter it in the annual 'small works exhibit' at Mimosa Gallery in Saratoga Springs.

"Psychedelic Pear" is the final large still life painting I've completed...boo hoo. They were so pleasurable to create and I will miss painting them for a while as I tackle other projects...equally pleasurable. I will reiterate my usual bemoaning that because I paint in a variety of  styles and diverse subject matter, (and want to do them all at the same time) I'm usually missing painting something or another as I'm working on whatever it is I'm working on. Yea, I know what some of you are thinking ...Marina, "just stay in the moment"....and I will respond....When you truly accomplish that, let me know and you can teach me....

 I love painting these large still life pieces. I've just completed a few smaller still life paintings  for submission to the Mimosa Gallery annual small works exhibit that is coming up after the holidays in Saratoga Springs. I'll keep you all posted and I'll post my new small creations after I am through with this larger series. 

At the moment,  I am working on an equine portrait that was commissioned by one of my wonderful collectors who resides in Saratoga Springs every summer.  A few other equine commissions are 'in the works' so I'll be busy painting for others for a while.

I love painting these bold and bright large still life pieces. I actually find them considerably easier to navigate than my small paintings. They do make quite a dramatic statement...

.....and speaking of statements....The older I get, the more I could have written the quote by Socrates below. In fact, here is a little scribble I wrote about 20 years ago...

Can you imagine this striking painting in your dining area? The background for this piece is a sheet of decorative paper I found at my local craft store. I saw it and immediately thought ...what a wonderful painting some bright yellow lemons placed on it would make. 

I originally painted this piece in a small 6"x 6" format which sold fairly quickly. I liked it so much and decided to paint a much larger version.

Giclee Art Reproduction on Canvas

Equine Portrait Series

$195 includes shipping to US

"Dreamer" is another high quality giclee print on stretched canvas of the original oil painting. It is stretched over 1/2" stretcher strips and difficult to distinguish from the original painting. These reproductions never cease to amaze me.

"Dreamer" is the very first horse painting I'd ever attempted and I was very very happy with how it turned out. I've received more comments about my equine artwork than anything I've ever painted before, including my angel artwork. CLICK HERE for the story about how it all began....

This wonderful piece is a high quality giclee print on canvas of the original oil painting. It is stretched over 1/2" stretcher strips and printed locally by Frankie Flores, one of the premier artists here in Saratoga Springs, NY. It is actually difficult for even me to distinguish the original painting, which is presently on display at The Arts Center Exhibit, from this exquisite reproduction.

Speaking of the Arts Center Exhibit, the opening is taking place this Saturday night from 6-8 pm at 320 Broadway in Saratoga Springs. There will be food and refreshments available and I am looking forward to attending. Hope to see some of you there too!

I'd originally painted this piece in a 6" x 6" format and it sold almost immediately to a collector who has one child. She said it represented her beautiful family. I liked this painting so much and decided to paint it again in a much larger version.

Another example of a rare fruit find with the wonderful stem and leaf on the momma pear. Wish I could have preserved it forever. Being that I knew it wasn't possible, I ate it...mmmmm

Here's another sort of cute apple for you today. It seems to have a personality, doesn't it? I was so happy to discover this little apple with its long, thick stem and wonderful leaves still attached. I couldn't wait to get home and paint it!

It is a beautiful temperate Sunday morning here in Saratoga Springs, NY......Too beautiful to waste behind a computer and I've already got upper back/shoulder burn.... I'm going into town to walk around and hopefully have a new adventure or see something beautiful I didn't notice before...or maybe another piece of fruit with a leaf attached....a rare find....

I didn't know what I was going to paint when I began this piece. I dipped my brush into the paint and simply began. At one point it looked like it was actually going to be a sunburst but as I continued to paint and it magically started to look like a sunflower and I decided to stop...so that's the story here....

I love working with bright, clear color and was very happy to find this swatch of whimsical fabric to pose my red pears on.

I had a surprise request from my granddaughter, Dominique, to spend the night with me yesterday. She's been working very hard creating her beautiful hemp beaded jewelry and listing it all at her Etsy Shop. Being an impatient 17 year old, she hadn't included some of the details that I thought were important to present her jewelry online....so.....we spent the night (me until 11:30 pm and Dominique until 3am) revising every one of her listings. There's still some work to do with the photos but here is DOM'S BEAD BOUTIQUE at Etsy.Com

Can you picture this neat little gem of a painting on your kitchen wall?  I fell in love with the fabric I used as the background. After painting it as is, I put in the white polka dots to add a bit more interest. There was just too much flat black in the fabric. I don't think I'll ever get tired of painting fruit on colorful backgrounds. I'm still not back in the swing of painting and not happy about it. One thing after another has come up that needed my attention....just so much energy and time in any given day....

This is an older painting I completed a few years ago. It was painted Plein Air at the Saratoga Battlefield in Saratoga, NY on a very chilly, windy and overcast day. As much as I enjoy the experience of painting outdoors, I have a difficult time packing all the gear necessary, carrying it around and dealing with bugs, the elements, and invariably an aching back after a while.... Maybe in my next life...

Sunday morning,  the second day of my Annual Open Studio, K. Madison Moore, a good friend of mine and exceptional painter who lives way over in Pennsylvania emailed me with the link to a very wonderful newspaper feature about me that was published in my local newspaper that morning. What a surprise! Click SARATOGA ARTICLE to read it.

This photo doesn't capture the subtleties of this painting either in color or detail, but you get the idea. I am a lover of mist. There are times when I'm working on a painting that isn't developing very well ...that's when I dip my brush in white paint and begin to rub in and paint over the passages I don't like. That's how I initially discovered that I paint mist really well! This isn't one of those paintings though....the mist was planned and deliberate. I've been told that mist and fog are difficult to capture....it seems to come naturally to me though....at least that's what I've been told....

This lovely, serene little piece was painted from my imagination. When I need a diversion from more structured painting I usually just begin to paint spontaneously just to see what will manifest. What usually manifests is either a garden painting or a celestial painting. 

At the moment, I am still so frustrated with myself and the slow progress I am making getting everything in order here for my Open Studio next weekend. I will make a concerted effort to discipline myself today and not allow any more distractions...and here's the perfect quotation for me below...

The inspiration for this painting is the beautiful countryside just up the road from my country home and studio in Saratoga Springs, NY. It is one of the rare acrylic paintings I've done.

Illumined Garden was painted spontaneously from my imagination. I love painting in this way. This painting invokes such a sense of peace. Viewers have told me that it seems to pull them right into the light. I had this painting on my studio wall intending to finish it. People would comment on how much they liked it and when I'd say "it isn't finished yet..." the consistent response was "don't do anything more to it."....so I didn't....

 I've painted a few other plums on this fabric pattern in the past which have all sold. I love painting the deep red, burgundy and violet colors of the plum. 

I haven't painted since moving the paintings and equipment from my studio on Beekman St. back home. I'm never quite 'right' unless I am painting consistently. The challenge has been to reintegrate everything into my studio here and keep it looking fairly organized until my house sells...not an easy task. I plodded along earlier today for a few hours, took a nap, and am exquisitely procrastinating getting back in there. Wish I could just wave a magic wand and have it all done....

I am planning to have an Open Studio here November 12 & 13. I will provide more details as we get closer. Hope to see some of you there!
