Here is another little gem of a painting. I love painting these tiny pieces. They are getting me out of my painting 'funk' to an extent. I'm going with my natural rhythm rather than push myself.

My secret project..."YOUR AURA MADE VISIBLE"...If all goes well, I will be unveiling this inspired idea that I've been pondering and working on by the end of next week. I have always had the ability to 'see' colors around living things...people, animals, etc...and now I have been creating aura paintings.

Aura Painting is actually how I discovered my intuitive abilities....CLICK HERE to read how that happened....more to come next week if I make sufficient progress....

ILLUMINED, Miniature Landscape Painting, Original Acrylic Garden Landscape by Marina Petro

Here is another miniature gem of a painting. I will state my usual ... it is much more beautiful 'in person' because the texture of the canvas is magnified in the photo above and it looks like there's nothing I can do about that when trying to capture the image. I've tried photographing, scanning, photographing at a distance and nothing has worked so it is what it is....

"Illumined" was painted from my creative and often compulsive imagination. I've painted many garden scenes with light streaming in similar to this and I'm not through yet...

I am happy with this little gem which was painted spontaneously from my imagination. The background color in the original is more of a deep violet. It looks more like a deep blue on my computer's monitor...

"A Tiny Angel" is much more beautiful in person. Neither my cameras or scanner was able to capture the clear details and eliminate the exaggerated canvas texture. Oh, well, you'll just have to take my word for it.

I felt as if I was a child while painting this sweet piece. As usual when I paint intuitively, I just go with the flow for the most part. I found myself painting the moon with rays like I used to when I was a child. The angel was an afterthought. It was an interesting and very enjoyable experience. This painting seems to emulate the quality of joyfulness.

"Tempest" Wish I could find the trick that would display the photos of these miniatures accurately. I scan them. Scanning is the most accurate way to capture color and other properties, but not with these little gems. The originals are much more beautiful. Most of these miniatures have been created from my imagination. I might try my hand at painting larger versions of them at some point...

"Red Moon" is another addition to my current series of miniature paintings using Golden Fluid Acrylic paint. I must say it is quite a contrast using these fluid acrylics to oil paint. I prefer oil paint but am stubbornly satisfying my curiosity with these. They do have their benefits...one of which is I don't have to wait very long to paint over a section if need be as they dry very quickly....and....I have another idea for their perfect use which is currently a secret...I will unveil it if my interest in it continues...

This painting was created from my imagination as I attempt to get my mojo back from wherever it is hiding in the shadows. If I never get it back, that's ok too...I'll just keep painting without it regardless.

"Oceanscape" is another miniature painting from my ever fertile, over active imagination. Have I moved through my 'painting funk' yet? No...but I am doing my best. This piece too, as well as all the other miniatures looks much better in person due to the canvas texture in the scanned photo making the texture appear much larger and rougher than it actually is....weird...

"The Garden Path" is another miniature creation from my imagination. The photo above is larger than the actual painting which is only 3 x 3 inches. Unfortunately the canvas texture shows up much more pronounced in the photo as well. It is actually much much smoother and nicer in person.

Flight, "Miniature Abstract Acrylic Painting" Night Sky with Moon by Marina Petro

"Flight" is number two in the new series of miniature works I've been creating. It is actually smaller than the picture above, being only 3" x 3" and the texture of the canvas doesn't appear as pronounced in the original. The colors are richer too. I really like this one a lot and can see it as a much larger painting.

Yesterday's attempt at painting was a disaster. It started out just fine and I should have left it alone but didn't. I kept working it over and nothing fell together quite right so I brought it to the kitchen sink and scrubbed as much paint as I could off. Oh, well...

Here is "The Arrival." The first in a series of new miniature paintings. I experimented with Golden Fluid Acrylic paints. I prefer oil but my curiosity isn't satisfied yet so I will continue to use the acrylics for a time.

I've been in a 'painting funk' for some time now, which is very unusual for me. Seems my mojo took a powder. It's not that I am what many refer to as being blocked....that's almost never the case as I am constantly receiving ideas and images, and thinking about painting. It's been getting myself into the studio.

Anyway, I decided to break this unusual period by painting miniature works. "The Arrival"  is the first of several I've completed and will probably drag myself into my studio now and work on a new one. Once I begin, I'm just fine....it's getting in there...very strange, indeed...

The actual painting is much nicer in person. It is quite difficult photographing these miniature works of art. The canvas texture is rougher in the photographs and the photo doesn't show the subtle changes in the blending of colors.
