Here is another beautiful creation from my imagination.
I initially painted this piece minus the moon and angel several years ago and considered it complete at that time. I titled  it "Sacred Mountains." I even had it listed at my Etsy Shop for sale for a short time. 

However, I began to feel the painting wasn't  finished but couldn't decide how to go about finishing until the impression of an angel atop one of the mountain cliffs and the moon appeared in my imagination. I am very happy with it now...

Original oil painting on stretched canvas

$250 Unframed

I began painting "Autumn Lakeside" on a beautiful Autumn day. I began to get tired and decided to pack up my gear and go back home. I started to work on it in my studio from the photo I snapped but didn't like where it was going so I decided to add more clouds and a lake or stream to the actual landscape that was devoid of any water....creative license. I am happy with it now....

"Stormy Skies" Original Plein Air Landscape Oil Painting by Marina Petro

"Stormy Skies"
8 x 10 inches
Original oil painting on stretched canvas

$159

I began painting this scene during a plein air (outdoor painting) excursion with a friend in Salem, New York. I'd listed it at my Etsy shop at one point with the title "Salem Skies" when I felt it was finished.  After a short time, I was not satisfied with it and continued to work on it some more. I added the water from imagination. It was not present in the actual landscape.....creative license...I'm happy with it now.

What intrigues me about this painting is the darker shape at the very top above the clouds which appears to be a large dark bird....has to be seen in the original at a distance...
