Here's another celestial piece that just seemed to paint itself....just flowed from brush to canvas. I am hoping that some of you out there are being inspired to explore intuitive painting in this way.

Many of you might have heard about the powerful Solar Flares that have been taking place. Here's a very interesting article "THE GIFT OF SOLAR FLARES"  It includes a section outlining a variety of symptoms that might be experienced. I have been experiencing quite a few of them...feeling better today though.

Today's Quotation: "We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."
-Mother Teresa

Painting these celestial pieces is actually the style and subject matter that comes most naturally for me. It is always an adventure and  surprise when I paint spontaneously in this manner. I never know where the painting is going and how it will turn out...

I'm not ready to begin to paint them much larger, though....even though I want to.  That time will most likely come when I have sold my house and found a new abode closer to Saratoga.

Starbirth, "Skyscape Oil Painting" by Marina Petro

Sold

Starbirth
6" x 12"
Original oil painting on canvas textured board
Celestial Series
$125

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

"Starbirth" was painted in much the same way as yesterday's painting, "Toward Heaven." Painting isn't always the most relaxing activity as many people think. But....when they are painted purely intuitively and flow as beautifully and effortlessly from brush to canvas as this one did....YES!!! very very relaxing and 'happy making'...

Skyscape Painting, "Toward Heaven" Oil Painting by Marina Petro

SOLD


Toward Heaven
6" x 12"
Original oil painting on canvas textured board
Celestial Series
$125

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


Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.

This painting was created on a smooth canvas textured board. The painting has a notch on the back which makes it easy to display with just a small nail. 

'Toward Heaven" was created spontaneously. I didn't know what I wanted to paint and simply dipped my brush in the first color that I was attracted to and began to push paint around....I continued painting in this way until the painting developed. There are two little forms that appear to be birds flying upward toward the bottom right...can you see them?  I'm happy with the resulting piece.

Today's Quotation: “We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.”
― Desmond Tutu

You haven't heard from me in a while, and might not hear from me for a bit longer after today. We've had a death in the family. (my ex husband-father of my 3 daughters)  I'm still trying to restore my equilibrium. But, I wanted to post this painting while it is still available. You can purchase it at my ETSY SHOP until January 31. After that it will be exhibited at the Mimosa Gallery Small Works Show in Saratoga Springs until mid March.

So far, I think this is the best plum I have ever painted....and, yes, it was delicious! 

Today's Quotation: " Art comes... into the highest part of the mind, with which we can know the presence of God. But we have to pay attention to that area in order to notice the grace, or even perhaps to attract it."
