"Still Life With Urn"
24 x 30
Original oil painting on stretched canvas

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




It is difficult to comprehend how much time has passed since I painted "Still Life With Urn." It was created from a still life setup at a class I was auditing at Skidmore College back in the 90's!!!  I've never exhibited it so it hasn't been seen very much at all....it's been hiding in my studio with a few other shy friends. 

In any case, I am offering it at a ridiculously low price for it's size and quality here at my online Etsy Shop.

"Angel"

Fine Art Print in sizes  9" x 12" and 11" x 14"
Both sizes fit in standard sized frames.


Isn't she the sweetest angel?  The original "Angel" was an oil painting on canvas which was purchased by a very happy collector quite a few years ago. She was so happy to have discovered it!
I am happy to make ANGEL available as a fine art print in two sizes for your enjoyment.

Last Days Of Autumn, Original Plein Air Oil Painting by Marina Petro

"Last Days Of Autumn"
11 x 14 inches
Original oil painting on stretched canvas

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

I painted "Last Days Of Autumn" outdoors a week or so ago right in the center of the town of Ballston Spa, NY. There was a small parking lot that overlooked this scene. Perfect place for painting because I could park, take my gear out of the car, set up and paint without having to drag a heavy cart for any distance. Stewarts was right across the street too. Truly fulfilled it's label as a convenience store.

Now...I am not 100% sure that I've finished the painting. I'd appreciate any comments about this and also, if another title comes to mind, let me know. So, does it look finished to you?

Original oil painting on stretched canvas

"Countryside"is one of the rare acrylic paintings I've created. I enjoyed the experience and might try my hand at using acrylics next time I decide to paint outdoors. 

This piece was inspired by a scene on my way into town when I lived in my country home on the outskirts of Saratoga Springs, NY.

It is available framed and unframed.

Do you have a very favorite landscape you'd love a painting of?
Send me a picture and we can discuss the possibility of a commission.
