Firebird, Phoenix Rising Art Print From The Original Oil Painting by Marina Petro

©Marina Petro

"Firebird"
FINE ART PRINT
12 x 16 inches

$39.99




This is the third and last Firebird - Phoenix painting I have completed over the years. I am pretty sure there will be more to come...at least one more. 

"FIREBIRD" was painted from my imagination spontaneously. The original oil painting was a large 30 x 40 inches on stretched canvas and purchased several years ago.

The beauty and power of the Phoenix Rising is depicted in this painting. In Egyptian mythology, the phoenix is a beautiful bird that lives for 500 years. It builds its own funeral pyre with wood and spices, sets itself on fire and rises reborn again from the ashes more beautiful than ever to live for another 500 years. The Phoenix Rising is a symbol for resurrection, immortality, triumph over adversity and the indomitable power of the human spirit.

"PHOENIX RISING" by Marina Petro



The original 30x40 inch painting is in a private collection.
I am offering a 16x20 inch double matted print on sale for $39+$8 shipping.
I recently had a 20x30 inch giclee on stretched canvas printed locally for a customer. I was just stunned when I saw how exquisite it turned out. If anyone in the NY Capital District would like one it would cost $250 and I would deliver it. Outside of the NY Capital District, you can order it on paper or canvas here and have it shipped directly to you: Imagekind.Com

I am very pleased to announce that IMAGEKINDselected me as one of their featured artists for this week. They have featured my painting of two pears, "Lean On Me" on their front page. Take a look. Much of my artwork can be ordered directly from them in a variety of sizes on paper and canvas.

I painted this phoenix toward the end of a long period of illness. My energy and sense of well being miraculously began to return upon it's completion.
