"STARRY SKIES" Original Landscape Oil Painting by Marina Petro


"Starry Skies"
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.


"STARRY SKIES" was initially going to be a plein air painting I began at Saratoga State Park per the pictures below. When I brought it back to my studio I could not harness my ever active imagination and it became a totally new creation painted spontaneously/intuitively. I love these surprises.

Today's Quotation: "It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It's my partner."

"Astral Journey" is a large painting of other worlds beyond what we can see. It was created spontaneously from my imagination. It is very freeing when I paint in this way. I don't plan anything....just allow my intuition to take over. Always a surprise and most times a very pleasant one!

HEAVENLY GARDEN - Original Landscape Oil Painting by Marina Petro

"Heavenly Garden"
11 x 14 inches

I was feeling kind of 'stuck' when I went into my studio the day I began painting this serene piece. I was having difficulty deciding what to paint so I chose to paint a theme that is created spontaneously / intuitively and something I'm always comfortable. Just not in the mood to go beyond my comfort zone that day. I consider HEAVENLY GARDEN "Healing Art" because of the sense of uplifting, serenity and peace it evokes when viewed.

"Spring Blooms"
8 x 10 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.


Now isn't this the most cheerful painting? I began painting it on an outdoor painting excursion to Skene Manor in Whitehall, NY and finished it in my studio from my imagination. I used a combination of palette knife and brush.

This landscape with springtime blooms will certainly lift the mood wherever it is displayed.

Today's Quotation:  "It's easy to get bogged down in the circumstantial and mundane, but if we connect to our passion, that in itself will be regenerative; we won't have to wait for the energy, it will be there."

The Guardian, Fine Art Print From The Original Painting by Marina Petro

"The Guardian"
Fine art print in a variety of sizes.


This beautiful guardian angel seemed to paint herself!
I began the painting with my canvas in a horizontal position, intending to paint a garden. Nothing seemed to work and I created a real mess. 

In my frustration, I intuitively / impulsively turned the canvas around vertically on my easel and began to paint spontaneously. As I continued painting, the image of this angel appeared. 

The original painting has been sold but I am happy to have it available as a fine art print in a variety of sizes.

Today's Quotation:  "Cease trying to work everything out with your minds. It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be Revelation."

This cheerful piece was created in a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm and energy! There is a great deal of texture in this colorful creation.

It is framed in the floater frame pictured above.

ANGEL FALLS, Original Angel Oil Painting by Marina Petro

I painted this piece minus the moon and angel some time ago. I considered it completed then and gave it the title "Sacred Mountains." I even had it listed at Etsy for sale for a short time. 

However, I began to feel the painting was not quite finished but wasn't sure 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...

Today's Quotation:  "It is always with excitement that I wake up  in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me, like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It's my partner."
