I took a break from my nature series to join an art group called Royal Rococo.These first three above, I painted are hand sculpted designs

The above paintings I used various forms of plaster work to complete my designs, I loved the silver one, when I completed it- its hard to see right in photos and I keep meaning to learn to take better photos.Ill be working on some florals next ,Then I cant wait to do some old Tuscany chateau paintings.I have so many ideas and very excited to paint them. Most of the time as an artist like most- you have to go in the direction your heart, vision, inspiration is going that is what lead me to want to start doing ornamental paintings . By the end of next year I do hope to complete my Natures Angels series though, Im up to number 8 and would like to do 12 so I can do a calender of them

Thank you for visiting have a wonderful Happy Thanksgiving!!! Sincerely, Jonny

A Summer Rose

At the break of day, the golden sun appears bringing me great joy, with a summer breeze that always warms my soul, but what brings me beauty is knowing in the Summer I can breathe a rose .- Petros

                                           Blue Daisy
Far away a blue daisy grows under a golden sun, that kisses the faces of angels, and where nature is free to run wild. May we who has seen such beauty in nature, leave it to be untouched, unharmed, untamed, so that those still yet to be, will one day see.
                                          Have a great week everyone Thank you for visiting!

ORIGINAL NATURE'S ANGEL PAINTING EBAY

noreply@blogger.com (Jonny J Petros) — Sat, 14 May 2011 12:10:00 +0000

Spring's Splendor

The Awakening
In the midst of a dream I am lying beside the Earth and a warm breeze awakens us. Nature reborn and the innocence of new life, restores my hope and faith in miracles. I am impassioned once again by Heaven's beauty on Earth. Spring's symphony begins with the budding of trees, charming songs of birds and the fragrant scent in the air. As Nature blooms and splendor bursts forth, with joy I celebrate the eternity of life.

This Angel is number six in my series of twelve Nature's Angels. Usually after I paint an angel I take a break and paint some smaller paintings so I am looking forward to getting started. Also now that this painting is complete I am very excited this weekend to catch up on some of my outdoor projects.
Thank You, for visiting, Sincerely Jonny.

TIME FOR A SPRING BREAK AND A SMILE!
Elmer Fudd says! "It's wabbit season, and
I'm hunting wabbits, so be vewy, vewy quiet!"

When I stopped to take a break to start on my yard work the weather changed and got cold and rainy, so I decided to paint some spring paintings. They say it is supposed to start warming up this week looking forward to getting out there and get some excersize!

WINTERBERRY

                                                                                       The Still of Winter
                          A moment of joy comes at seeing the first snow fall, an idealistic winter scene. Gracious pines covered in white, crimson winterberries dangling from branches, wildlife content in mossy nests.The beholder is breathless, she knows there is beauty in the still of winter when all is quiet and at peace. -Petros

I have to admit I was starting to get Spring fever while finishing this painting. At last I finished -just in time to start cleaning up my yard from Winter. Now I have a chance to get everything around the plants cleaned up
so they can breath, and I can enjoy the season. I hope everyone is enjoying their Spring.Thank you for visiting. Sincerely,Jonny

"Rose Petals"

                                                                            The Falling of a Rose
                                               Nestled between the tiniest blades of grass, lies a delicate petal,
                                                       fallen from what was once the sweetest rose.
                                              A tender moment in thought, of remembering the beauty,
                                            passionate remains this soul who knew of such loveliness.
                                                                                    -Petros

                                This living tree, grows for you and me and still those yet to be.
                                              It awakens my heart, flooding with memories.
                                  Wind blowing, gently swaying, I can see her waving to me.
                                         Bathing in the sunlight, I can see him smiling at me.
                                  Years gone, leaves have fallen, branches have scattered
                                  Aging gracefully, reminding us of them, young endlessly.
                                  Remembering those divine, a memory of yours and mine.
                                                                         -Petros

Lilacs

I took a pictures of trees down the cemetary where I walk. I finally got a chance to paint one, then I gave up on the photo and finished painting myself the branches became to confusing in my snap shot. I'm hoping to get a better picture of my lilacs, I kept getting a glare on my finished painting even without sunlight. I'll have to try again. I wanted to take a little break before my next angel and do some different paintings, I feel I am more refreshed when I take a break and do something different. *** I don't know how everyones weather is but it is starting to get nice here!!!!*** Thank you, for visiting. Sincerely, Jonny

"Notes of Scarlet"

AUTUMN
As Autumn falls upon us, she walks us through her ruffled leaves of color. She holds our faces against her warm sun, letting us enjoy the gift of feeling embraced. Our eyes dance across a glorious horizon.We are in awe of a countryside aflame with scarlet and rich in gold.. We take in the scene and feel as though we are standing in the middle of a grand painting, where our souls are moved into a solitary thought of 'what is our place in the world'. We gather,celebrate. The abundance of beauty and fruits of the season is cause for us to give thanks. These gifts are more precious than all the riches we know. Our eyes can adore scarlet but it is our hearts that know the grace of a season, and the reality in nature is the real beauty in life. -Petros

                                                                               Thank you for visiting.

"Sweet September"

We are flushed with anticipation before nature's majestic fall. As summer slips away, September
comes quietly with her leaves slowly changing as if an artist is painting them. This is a beginning of the season of vibrant colors.

                                            If only to dream, give me the splendour of September forever,
                                              the days to walk beside everything of beauty, just to linger.
                                                                     Sweet is this dream of September.
                                                                                       - Petros

Thanks to Nicole's mom Lori I had the privilege of painting this beautiful little girl. I thought the pose she gave was a perfect shot. I am working now in my studio on my next portrait, a fairy with the beginning of the fall season. I love when the leaves are still green and just starting to change colors.

I Hope everyone has a beautiful and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Surrendering Violet

Nature brings us a promise of beauty. A season brings us a gift of colors, a joy to behold. We dream as we see the heavenly blue flowers that are rambling along roadsides and flourishing in gardens. The color of blue, surrenders one to calmness, bringing peace. Then there is the color of violet, the divine color of passion. Mysteriously it can ignite the heart and stir the imagination. Violet, the color, sincerely delicate, a precious whisper that surrenders one wild. -Petros

As summer is winding down, and the season is changing, I wanted to capture some of the purple colors still out my back yard, but I am looking forward to some fall paintings!

Bella Blue turned one years old !

Morning Glory

NATURES ANGELS

Heaven awaits for those who believe,- in a sacred meadow

where wildflowers dance and passion blooms.

Where Divine Angels dream and open their hearts to a vision of beauty,

Nature, Gods masterpiece, what He created for us,

our own Heaven on earth.

-Petros

Some say to paint can be a therapy to many, it can soothe nerves, calm a sole and mend a broken spirit. For me painting has always been one of my greatest loves and passion in life. So many times in life, other things have taken me away from my passion. I know that I am different when I'm not able to paint for a while because of some reason, life becomes boring, I seem to feel like a robot, without any zest for life. When I do get back into my work somehow I have more energy, I'm more happy and more focused. I believe, blood keeps our bodies alive, but it is our passions that keep our spirits alive and our souls forever young. For me I decided to take a new art journey and go back to when I started and why I fell in love with painting. My first inclination when I was young -to want to paint portraits, was the beauty I would see in faces, I was hungry to learn and eager grasp all that I could on my own. I thought if some how, I can do this then someone will be able to see what I see. So this is why, I'm starting a new series of portraiture, Natures Angels, a series of poetic angels that reflect my personal expression of seeing and appreciating the beauty in the natural world and what surrounds us as human beings. My paintings hold within them a passionate soul and send a message of belief, hope and love.

Looking forward to begin my next Natures Angel.

Thank You for visiting my site.I hope everyone has a warm and wonderful Fall, and are able to enjoy the many beautiful things, that this season can bring.

Sincerely, Jonny

FRENCH PAINTINGS- ROCOCO STYLE- MARIE ANTOINETTE

noreply@blogger.com (Jonny J Petros) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 02:16:00 +0000

THEY CALLED IT THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT

ROCOCO DEVELOPED AND DOMINATED INTIALLY IN FRANCE AND THEN SPREAD TO OTHER PARTS OF EUROPE. SOME OF THE GREATEST PAINTERS OF THE TIME WERE WATTEAU, BOUCHER, LANCRET, FRAGONARD, IT WAS A TIME WHEN MARIE ANTOINETTE WAS THE QUEEN OF FRANCE.

THE STYLE WAS DRAMATIC, THEATRICAL, INTIMATE, ELABORATE, EMPHASIZING ON ELEGANCE. WOMEN WERE IDEALIZED IN PAINTINGS, MOST PAINTINGS WERE PASTEL AND LIGHTHEARTED IN TONE AND OFTEN PORTRAYED A YOUTHFUL DELIGHTFUL WOMAN IN A PLAYFUL MANNER. THEY WERE ENGAGING WOMEN, THE IDEAL OF BEAUTY, SOFT AND APPEALING. THIS WAS AN AGE OF PASSION AND DESIRE. HAVING A TASTE FOR ROCOCO IS WHAT INSPIRED MY PAINTINGS OF WOMEN. STILL HOPING ONE DAY TO START A PORTRAIT OF MARIE ANTOINETTE .

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY SITE, I HAVE NOT GOT TO POST FOR A MONTH- JULY WAS HECTIC WITH MAJOR PROBLEMS- I HOPE AUGUST IS WONDERFUL WITH NO HEADACHES SO I CAN PAINT AND POST AND ENJOYTHIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER

HOPE EVERYONE IS ENJOYING THEIR SUMMER!!!!

SINCERELY. JONNY
