Andrea's Lillies-Water Lily Lotus Flowers Art Print by Marina Petro

Andrea's Lillies
Original Sold
Fine art prints on canvas, paper and greeting cards are available at Fine Art America

ARTIST~MARINA PETRO, SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY USA

I've added Andrea's Lillies to my collection of paintings available as prints and greeting cards at Fine Art America. 

This painting was inspired by a photograph my daughter, Andrea, took at the beautiful Yaddo Artist Retreat in Saratoga Springs, NY.   I live in Saratoga Springs and will be going there with my camera soon. The original painting was recently purchased by a hospital in Saratoga Springs for their permanent collection. It will be displayed in the Orthopedic Surgery floor with three of my other paintings. I am happy that recovering patients and their families will have access to it. The space they will be displayed in is under construction and I'll take pics of all my babies when they are on the wall and provide more details.

This is one of my works that I consider 'Healing Art"... why?....how do you feel when you view it? The colors I used are the primary colors considered 'healing colors.' Green is the primary healing color, white denotes spirituality and higher consciousness, and the pink/rose is the color of love.

Today's Quotation:  "When you paint, you forget everything except your object. When you are too much engrossed in it, you are lost in it; and when you are lost in it, your ego diminishes and love infinite appears. And when love is created, God is attained." ~Meher Baba

The Guardian-Still Life Oil Painting Fruit by Marina Petro

"The Guardian"
Original oil painting on archival Raymar canvas panel
Purchase securely at my ETSY SHOP or EMAIL me for other purchasing options or inquiries.

I was shuffling my fruit 'models' around on the kitchen counter trying to decide on the composition for the next painting. When I saw this little pear appearing to look up to the larger 'guardian' apple, there was no question about what I was going to paint. I took a photo of the smaller pear to paint it all by itself at a later time...

With reference to today's quotation below...Think about this...When one is in the act of creating, and fully engaged, whether it be art, music, whatever... they are accessing one of the most powerful forces a human being can experience. It is the same energy that 'The Creator' created this universe...that's why they call it creativity...and that's also why I love teaching my Painting From "The Zone" workshops...to introduce this profound experience to others who might not have encountered it before. Painting is my saving grace. I cannot imagine my life without it...

Today's Quotation:  "As a suffering creature, I cannot do without something greater than I--something that is my life--the power to create."
