MOONRISE, Original Landscape Moon Painting by Marina Petro

"Moonrise"
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.



MOONRISE began as a plein air painting of Saratoga Lake, NY. When I brought it back to my studio I didn't particularly love it so I began painting spontaneously and this is the result which I am very happy with! Can you see the suggestions of angels among the clouds?

Night Blooms is another 'paint over' creation.

I am actually enjoying painting over works that were nagging at me as needing something more or to be transformed completely. This one was transformed completely! I'm very happy with it now.

Red Pear & Hibiscus Original Still Life Oil Painting by Marina Petro


©Marina Petro

"Red Pear & Hibiscus"
6 x 8 inches
Original oil painting on archival canvas panel

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


This  painting was quite the challenge! It took several sessions to complete. When there is a considerable amount of white and black in a painting such as this, I have to wait a couple of days between sessions for each of these slow drying colors to set enough to paint over or into them.

Did you know the hibiscus flower can universally mean that it is a nice summer? In Europe, during the Victorian era and up to today, the meaning of the hibiscus flower is "delicate beauty." It is the state flower of Hawaii and generally given to visiting state officials. It's symbolizes Old Royalty and is a flower that brings power and respect. In Japan, it's meaning is "gentle."
