Only one in the entire universe!

Artist~Marina Petro, Saratoga Springs, NY USA

Another piece painted spontaneously with initially nothing in mind...just following my intuition, choosing the colors that attracted me in the moment. Night Fire was a happy surprise! It is so exciting painting in this way. Give your spirit permission to express and you never know what will happen. 

I am offering a weekend workshop on Intuitive Painting (Painting From 'The Zone') on October 2 & 3.  I would love to be the catalyst for your happy painting surprises. This is a workshop for everyone...person's who've never picked up a paint brush as well as seasoned artists.

Pumpkin Patch

16x20 

Oil painting on stretched canvas

What a surprise to have another one of my paintings selected for an Etsy Treasury called Art In the Color Of Autumn!  This painting was inspired by a neighbor's pumpkin patch. 

Today's Quotation:  "The primary distinction of the artist is that he must actively cultivate that state which most men, necessarily, must avoid: the state of being alone."

AUTUMN MIST~Autumn Fall Landscape Oil Painting Forest Trees Mist by Marina Petro

"Autumn Mist"

20x24 inches

Original oil painting on stretched canvas by Marina Petro

I painted this piece from a photograph and memory of landscapes such as this as I was driving around the autumn countryside. Observers have commented that this painting is 'haunting' and 'mysterious.' It certainly does convey the atmosphere of late autumn. The trees in the misty background were painted darker first, allowed to dry, and then glazed over lightly and carefully with white paint.  There have been times when I've used white paint to paint into parts of a painting (usually a landscape) that just wasn't working. What I discovered was that it would create a mysterious mist that added to the beauty of the painting.

Thought I'd post this piece today. I've begun watching the series "True Blood" on DVD...you know the one...about vampires and shape shifters. This scene looked like the perfect roaming ground for vampires. I think I might trade in my human sweetheart, who is retired, and spends a lot of time at home during the day for a new vampire boyfriend. They sleep all day...and he'd understand why I need to check out by 11 pm...
