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 piecesI'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...

"The more I know, the less I know, soon, I will know nothing,
The more I know, the less I speak, soon, I will be speechless..."

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.

Horse, "Equine Giclee Art Print on Canvas," DREAMER, Equine Portrait by Marina Petro 16x20

"Dreamer"
16" x 20"
Giclee Art Reproduction on Canvas
Equine Portrait Series
$195 includes shipping to US

Details and purchasing information HERE or EMAIL ME for other purchasing options and inquiries.

"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....

Horse, "Equine Giclee Art Print on Canvas," SEER, Equine Portrait by Marina Petro 16x20

"Seer"
16" x 20"
Giclee Art Reproduction on Canvas
Equine Portrait Series
$195 includes shipping to US


Details and purchasing information HERE or EMAIL me for other purchasing options and inquiries. 


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!
