"Fish Creek" was painted this past October on one of my local plein air painting excursions with my painting buddy, Debbie. Fish Creek is located on the outskirts of  Saratoga Springs, NY- 3 miles from my home. I was painting at the edge of the creek underneath Staffords Bridge where the Skidmore College Boat House is located. This is a view I see almost daily on my way into Saratoga Springs.

I completed the painting in my studio yesterday. It had gotten too cold and windy on location and I promptly caught a cold afterwards....just got around to finishing it now...

I thoroughly enjoyed painting my recent series of Miniature Original Oil Paintings. "Moonlit Garden" is one of my favorites. One of the things I enjoyed most was completing a painting in a reasonable amount of time.....instant gratification....well, not really instant but much quicker than most.

"Genesis" was painted some time ago. I didn't have anything in mind when I began to place paint on the canvas. I just began painting, following my creative instinct in each moment. I am happy with the resulting piece.

When the painting was completed and I was contemplating a title, the impression I received was the 'Creation' and that is how Genesis got its name. I also 'see' a bird or white dove coming forth from the center of the painting. For me, this depicts the 'Holy Spirit.'

Dreamer "Horse Portrait Giclee Art Print" From The Original Oil Painting by Marina Petro


©Marina Petro
"Dreamer"
16 x 20 inches
Giclee Art Print on Stretched Canvas
$175

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


PURCHASE HERE  or EMAIL ME  for other options and inquiries. 

"Dreamer" is a re-post and giclee art print of the very first horse I attempted to paint. I was surprised and happy with the result! The original painting was sold almost immediately. It's difficult to tell the originals from these high quality prints on canvas.

I was obsessed with horses when I was a child. They were my first love. Growing up in the city made it very difficult to have any contact with them though. Before we had television, I'd sit and listen to the radio and make believe I was galloping along with The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers....the good old days...

"Starlight" is another creation from my imagination painted a while back. It is one of those paintings that just flowed beautifully without glitches. It's not always that way.

Today's Quotation: "You ought to be able to say that a painting is as it is, with its capacity to move us because it is as though it were touched by God. But people would think it a sham. And yet that is what's nearest the truth."

"Solitary Confinement" is an older painting that has been successfully hiding out in my studio. She objected loudly when I told her she was going to be featured at my blog today and begged me not to. But, in her best interest, I thought it best to open the opportunity for her to leave the nest...

At the moment, I am feeling a bit 'funky' with not much to say other than I am happy with this painting. It has an unusual 'glow' which was an unintended nice little 'accident.'
