I painted this beautiful (and quite difficult) painting prior to my teachers death. I thought it was going to be a quick paint but, as usual, he began by saying....."Be patient, Marina and...be very very careful..." I thought,  oh, God....not again...patience and careful....very difficult for an Aries. 

Not sure why I've waited so long to actually post it here. When I heard that 48 states were going to be hit with another snowstorm this week, I decided this is the time to bring a bit of warmth and memories of sunny days to my subscribers. The inspiration for this painting was a photograph that my daughter, Andrea, took of the Echinacea/Coneflowers in her garden. Incidentally, the color pink is said to denote, love, a childlike nature, innocence, friendship...and other sweet things...Can you feel it?

Today's Quotation:  "Your love should never be offered to the mouth of a stranger...Only to someone who has the valor and daring to cut pieces of their soul off with a knife, then weave them into a blanket to protect you."

I wanted to post this painting a while back when I'd finished it but for some reason struggled with a title. I mean...how many pears on fabric can you paint before it starts getting tough to come up with a catchy title? Earlier today, "Sunny Side Up" popped into my head. The title came first ... then I made the association with eggs... It is the perfect day here to post something related to the sun. We have been getting snow all week and it's freezing here in upstate New York. Predictions are that it will get colder and colder for the next few days.

Solar Fire is one of my very favorite small celestial paintings. Can you envision it on a very large canvas? I can...and it excites me to think about it. That's a lot of what I'm doing of late.....thinking a lot and getting excited a lot ....and then the reality hits that there is only one of me and it would be humanly impossible to do everything I want to creatively...oh well...That's the blessing and curse of the constant inflow of creative ideas...most of the time I feel blessed. That's why I love teaching my Intuitive Painting Workshop...Painting From "The Zone." It enables me to introduce others to paint and experience the wonders of creative expression.

If you are interested in attending one of these workshops, please EMAIL ME. Depending on the response, I'll set a date for this spring.

Countryside-Acrylic Landscape Painting by Marina Petro

Countryside

8x10 inches

Original acrylic painting on stretched canvas

Purchase securely HERE for $100 or EMAIL ME for other purchasing options and inquiries.

A Certificate of Authenticity is provided with every painting.

This is one of the rare paintings I've created with acrylic paint. I 'kind of' liked it and will most likely paint with acrylics again... but...I do prefer oil. There's just something more 'genuine' or 'authentic' painting with oil. Acrylic does have it's advantages, though. In this particular piece, the fast drying time was one advantage because it allowed me paint over areas I'd just painted without getting muddy. In fact, this painting began as an experimental painting of a cup on fabric which I was not making much progress with and decided on a different painting altogether. 

Many of my abstract intuitive  Paintings From "The Zone"  are rendered with acrylic, at least in part. It wouldn't be possible for me to get the effects I do with them if I tried painting them with oil.

 I don't particularly like the title I've given this painting. If you come up with something else, EMAIL ME  with yours. It's not too late for me to change it.

FIREBIRD-Phoenix Rising Oil Painting, Marina Petro

"Firebird"

30" x 40"

Original oil painting on stretched canvas

Purchase securely HERE or EMAIL ME for other purchasing options.

Certificate of Authenticity provided with every painting.

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

 Firebird is getting quite a bit of attention at my downtown studio of late. She had been hiding in my country studio for some time and reluctantly agreed to go on exhibit only twice. So, she's in full view now. If you're around the Arts District in Saratoga Springs some afternoon, stop in and visit. 

The photo above does not do justice to Firebird. I've tried photographing her many times. It's rare that I can't get a good representation of the original painting. I'll be taking her to visit a professional photographer soon...hopefully he will be able to capture her elusive beauty.

The Roman poet Ovid wrote the following about the phoenix:
Most beings spring from other individuals; but there is a certain kind which reproduces itself. The Assyrians call it the Phoenix. It does not live on fruit or flowers, but on frankincense and odoriferous gums. When it has lived five hundred years, it builds itself a nest in the branches of an oak, or on the top of a palm tree. In this it collects cinnamon, and spikenard, and myrrh, and of these materials builds a pile on which it deposits itself, and dying, breathes out its last breath amidst odors. From the body of the parent bird, a young Phoenix issues forth, destined to live as long a life as its predecessor. When this has grown up and gained sufficient strength, it lifts its nest from the tree (its own cradle and its parent's sepulchre), and carries it to the city of Heliopolis in Egypt, and deposits it in the temple of the Sun.  READ MORE HERE...

Oil painting on stretched canvas

A Certificate Of Authenticity is provided with each painting

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

Illumined Garden was painted spontaneously and intuitively 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 began this painting at my home studio and then brought it to my downtown studio and had it on the 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 haven't.

Today's Quotation: "Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space.  It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe.  It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished."  ~Michael Strassfeld

Sacred Mountains is an older painting...hiding around my studio. I might have exhibited it once or twice over the years....it happens sometimes. I guess it is waiting for the right person to give it a good home. This piece is another example of spontaneous, visionary, intuitive painting. I had nothing in mind and just began to paint, following impressions as they arose.  These paintings almost paint themselves...always a surprise...

Here is the link to my latest ART & INTUITION NEWSLETTER...there's a link to the line of sterling silver angel necklaces I've created from my angel paintings at Zazzle.Com, an Intuition Test and more...
