Marina Petro - Floral

Today’s featured artist is Marina Petro. Marina is a wonderful painter whose work conveys a magical and seemingly other-world feeling. Tremendous! If you’re looking for something a little less traditional, be sure to check out her other galleries on Imagekind. My favorites are “Woodland Dream”, “The First Garden” and “Mystic Light”. - ArtSweet

This gallery contains images of flowers and gardens I have painted. Some have been painted from my imagination, others from life and photographs. Visit my Daily Painting Gallery for more flowers and gardens.

The First Garden

Here is another product of my imagination. This beautiful garden depicts light streaming in from the upper left illuminating the flowers. The original painting was rendered with oil on 22 x 28 inch canvas and is in a private collection. Predominant colors are blue turquoise rose gold yellow and green...all of which are considered healing colors.

In Full Bloom

This painting was inspired by flowers I had planted along the side of an old farmhouse I lived in at one time.Coleus, snapdragons, marigolds and pansies are the primary flowers depicted. The original was rendered with oil on 22 x 28 inch canvas. Predominant colors are red, gold, yellow and green.

Moongate

This beautiful painting is an impression of my 2005 garden. We added an arch that year and it was so lovely to see the flowers begin their climb. The original painting was rendered with oil on 22 x 28 inch gallery wrap canvas and is in a private collection. Predominant colors are green, blue, gold, white and violet-purples. These are considered healing colors.

Scarecrow Garden

This whimsical piece will certainly bring a smile to your face and others who view it. It is such a happy painting. Scarecrow Garden was inspired by my 2005 garden. I found the scarecrows in a country basket shop. It illustrates one two scarecrows, one larger than the other. I tend to think of them as father and son walking along the garden path. The sky is painted very loosely and energetically. Original painting was rendered with oil on 16 x 20 canvas and may still be available.

Sunflower Garden

Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers. I plant them in my gardens each year. This painting was originally rendered with oil on 24 x 36 inch canvas and is in a private collection. Predominant colors are blue, yellow, green and gold.

Sunflowers And Cleome

This beautiful painting was inspired by my 2006 garden. I love sunflowers and plant them each year. Cleomes were my dear mother's favorite flower and the one I identify her with.
