"Illumined Garden" is another creation in my miniature series....and the last mini garden to date. I have had a bit of a stall in painting these but will continue soon. Two days this week were taken up with electronic chaos. The power cord to my computer fried...as I was sitting at the computer. I saw a flash of light...and, the computer was very hot. I am thankful I wasn't upstairs asleep because I could have fried along with it. Best Buy sold me the wrong cord the next day so I had to drive down to Albany, NY to pick up the correct one at the Apple Store. The following day my telephone went whacky but finally fixed itself after a few hours, creating quite an agitated state in me...Been feeling a bit 'under the weather' yesterday and today so I haven't even looked at my studio...Tomorrow is another day...

After seeing how nicely this painting turned out, I will probably be painting more birch trees in autumn. I'd like to paint this one again with a blue sky behind the trees and foliage...maybe the next one when I complete a commission of an angel painting I am currently working on.

"Moon Over Sunset" was inspired by a similar larger painting I'd created a while back which has been adopted into a good home. The photo above may show up a bit larger on your monitor than the actual 3x3 inch original....and...the canvas texture is much smoother on the actual painting. Both my camera and scanner love those canvas textures and seem to magnify them...weird...

Angels Above Sedona, "Miniature Angel Oil Painting" Spiritual Art by Marina Petro

©Marina Petro

"ANGELS ABOVE SEDONA"
3x3 inches
Original oil painting on canvas
$39.99
Miniature Series
Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours! 

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

Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.

"Angels Above Sedona" was painted spontaneously/intuitively from wherever these images hide and then come forth through my brain/brush. When I finished the painting and tried to give it a title, Sedona, Arizona came to mind (the red cliff structures) and I also saw the suggestion of angels above them. 

I'd visited Sedona several times when two of my daughters were living there some years ago. It was magnificent! The red rock mountains, cliffs and landscape transported me to what I perceive as the beginning of time, or at least the creation of this earth.  What I had a hard time doing, though, was ignoring the shopping strips which interfered with the beauty of the landscape.

Today's Quotation: "Beauty...sometimes takes the form of a white cloud, and goes dancing over the green fields or the deep blue sea, where her misty form, marked out in a momentary darkness, looks like the passing shadow of an angel's wing."
-G.A.Sala, "Beauty of the Universe"

"Angel" is a tiny version of a similar painting I'd done a few years ago in a larger format. She actually looks much better 'in person,' but you get the idea.

Up until the second I uploaded the photo of "Cosmic Heat" to post here, I was seeing it as a celestial painting. I looked at it just now, and all of a sudden, I saw it as a seascape with a full moon. Now I can't decide, nor do I want to, whether it is a skyscape or a seascape...It is whatever you want it to be.
Whoever said you can't have it both ways?

Can you imagine biting into this very sour green apple? Try it. Did you begin to salivate a bit? Most people do.Your body chemistry responds to images…all images. With some, like imagining you are biting into a lemon or apple, with others it is more subtle. This is how the healing power of art works as well. When you view anything that your mind interprets as peaceful, inspiring or uplifting, stress is reduced, benevolent feelings flow through you…tension is reduced and replaced with harmony. Incidentally, the color green is considered one of the universal colors that represent healing...

I hope this painting speaks for itself because I am in one of my quiet moods and don't have much to say at the moment. I am so enjoying painting these miniature creations, though. Into the studio now to see what else I will do...have no idea, other than it will be small for sure...

"SUNSET" is the sixth in the series of  miniature works. "Garden Of Light"  which was posted yesterday sold quickly to a very happy collector. I am thankful once again!

It is very strange that these little ones don't photograph as well as larger paintings. They are truly more beautiful in person. This one doesn't show the subtle changes between the orange and red colors in the sky or the glow around the sun and horizon...oh well, I've done my best.

Original oil painting on canvas
SOLD
Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours!
Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.


"Heaven's Light" is the fourth in the series of (10 so far) miniature paintings I am working on. It was painted from my imagination. I have painted many of these gardens with light streaming down from above in all sizes. Each one is different than the others but the theme is the same. I love painting them and my collectors love collecting them...win win situation. I consider them a form of 'Healing Art' as they contain the primary colors of healing which are green, pale yellow and magenta and needless to say, streaming white light. How does it make you feel to view it?

Once again...these small works do not photograph well...either with a camera or scanned. This painting is much more beautiful in person. The white light streaming down is more subtle and blends in much better with the surrounding colors.

Today's Quotation: “I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.”

"Landscape" is the second in the series of ten (so far) miniature paintings I have recently completed. The inspiration for this painting was a scene along Saratoga Lake in Saratoga Springs, NY...my present home town. This piece truly looks much more beautiful in person. For some strange reason, these smaller paintings do not photograph as well as the larger ones and the texture of the canvas is much rougher than it actually appears in the painting. Oh well...

"Poppies" is the second in a series of miniature paintings I've been working on in recent days. So far I have 10 of them. I am enjoying painting them very much. The original painting of 'Poppies' is more beautiful than this picture depicts. It is quite difficult photographing these small works. The actual painting doesn't show the canvas texture as rough as it appears in the photo above and...the blending of colors is more subtle.

Here is another peek into my inner world..."Cosmic Lightning" was painted spontaneously/intuitively from my very active imagination. I find it is necessary for me to paint in this way from time to time. Most of these spontaneous works release the energy contained within me...too much to keep bottled up, and lately, it's gotten quite difficult for me to run around the block 150 times... (ha ha) Not only that...it gives me a glimpse of what is contained within me at any given moment...

I have to assume another angel or angels wanted to descend because I didn't have angels or landscapes on my mind when I began this painting. It began as a celestial, night sky piece but as I got into painting it and putting more darks into the lower right, my strokes began to look like trees. I liked the effect and extended it across the entire red section at the bottom. Then, as I was fooling around with the cloud formations, an angel (or angels) appeared...
