It's always such a good feeling when a painting is completed and I'm happy with it. This was especially challenging. Lots of detail that is imperceptible in the photo, but nevertheless there. Check out my last post and you will see that I've added a tree in the lower left corner to balance the open space on the lower left, glazed shadows under the roof tops, accentuated the windows and played with the foreground a bit. I've also finished the painting for the Bridging Heaven and Earth project but I'll post that over the next day or so.

I've been a busy girl. I signed an agreement to display my artwork at Gallery On The Hudson in Schuylerville, NY beginning May 3. I will have 10 feet of wall space in their street floor space and 10 feet of wall space on the upper level. I've got my paintings currently in one exhibit and another
commitment for May so I've got to get busy painting to fill the space.

"THE YELLOW BARN" by Marina Petro

"The Yellow Barn"
16"x20" Oil on Stretched Canvas
NFS

This is a commissioned piece I've been working on. I thought I'd post it today just to keep in touch. Hoping to complete it tomorrow. I've been painting almost daily but simultaneously working on couple of paintings so there's nothing completed yet. This farm is located on Route 68 and the Burgoyne Rd. fork in the countryside of Saratoga Springs, NY. They recently put a "For Sale" sign up and began renovations. I'm glad I was able to paint it before it doesn't exist as it had all these years.

Some of my paintings are on display at Flavour Cafe in Troy, NY. They will be there until at least the end of April. I've also documented what I have there with iWeb on my trusty Apple computer. The photos aren't all that great but served their purpose. Just click the link to view the exhibit/slide show. Ignore the link at the top that says 'New Paintings' I couldn't figure out how to delete it and ran out of patience.

Hope you enjoy viewing!
