An Original Painting of a Water Lily, a Pink Calla Lily Art Print, and more Prints!

My featured print auction for the week is on ebay here.  It is titled "Flowing Grace" and is of a pink and yellow calla lily in an impressionist style.  I also have additional giclee art prints here.

They're all based on my original paintings with a theme of pink and are starting today and ending next Tuesday.  In addition to flowers, there are some of my fantasy big eye girls with accents of pink.

Most of my art is also available on my website at http://www.lisarusso.com; however, I like to offer some art on ebay at a lower promotional start rate for the duration of the auctions...  The prints have a start price that's approximately 20% off and the original art has a start price that's approximately 25% off!

I'm listing this original painting here and the print of it is here.  The title is "Zen Water Lily" and it is of a pink and yellow nymphaea.

I helped with some yard work this weekend and I was so sore!  I gave myself some time off and I'm just barely starting to feel better...

I have so many ideas I want to paint flitting through my head!  I'm considering doing the 29 faces challenge in September, but maybe I won't do that until it rolls around again in February.  It seems like it would be fun, but I'm not very speedy.  I could probably do sketches, but definitely not that many finished pieces...

P-Chan from Ranma 1/2 Piggy Bank Sketch...

Alex gave me this P-Chan Piggy Bank and for some reason I decided to draw him.  Okay, maybe it's because he's massively cute...

I finished my cyber fairy angel painting that I posted the sketch to last Sunday.  She's here on ebay if you'd like to take a look at the auction, or you could take a look around here (I have some work in progress views here too).

Finished Original Cyber Fairy Angel Painting...

I've finished my cyber fairy angel painting for Nibblefest, it's on ebay here.  I've named her "My Robot Friend."  Nibblefest auctions start at 99c, no reserve!  This is a 5 day auction...

Edit: I was hoping to also get some work done on my little birdie, but that has yet to happen.  So, as this is the only painting I worked on this week, I'm linking this with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

Work in Progress II of My Cyber Fairy Angel...

Here's a bit more work on my cyber fairy angel acrylic painting for Nibblefest, I still have a lot of work to do on her, but she's coming along...

An Original Painting of a Gothic Deco Mermaid, a Self Portrait Art Print, and more Prints!

My featured print auction for the week is on ebay here.  It is titled "Drowning" and is a self portrait.  I also have additional giclee art prints here.

They're all based on my original paintings with a theme of blue and purple hair and are starting today and ending next Tuesday.  In addition to the self portrait, there are fairies, mermaids, and angels.

Most of my art is also available on my website at http://www.lisarusso.com; however, I like to offer some art on ebay at a lower promotional start rate for the duration of the auctions...  The prints have a start price that's approximately 20% off and the original art has a start price that's approximately 25% off!

I'm listing this original painting here and the print of it is here.  The title is "Twirls and Curls" and it is of a deco gothic big eye mermaid with some fishy friends.

My Nibblefest isn't done yet, but in keeping with my theme for the week, she will have blue or purple hair.  I hope to list my cyber fairy angel on Thursday.  I have a bit of a fascination, Alex would say obsession, with blue and purple hair.  I wanted to dye my own hair blue, but in order for the color to keep for a little while, I'd have to bleach it and my hair does not respond well to bleach.  So, alas, I must live vicariously through my creations...

Work in Progress of Cyber Fairy Angel...

Here is where I am at with my cyber fairy angel.  I don't think I'll finish her on time for the 20th, but I am relatively optimistic that I'll be able to post her on Thursday the 22nd.  If I have a chance, I'll post another WIP on Wednesday.

Cyber Fairy Angel Sketch...

Here's a sketch of a cyber fairy angel I am working on.  She's for Nibblefest's theme of Sci-Fi and Aliens.  I'm pretty sure I won't make it on time to list her on the 20th, but I'm hoping to make it for the 22nd.  Actually, I'm hoping to make it for the 20th, but that seems unlikely to me.  I'm not that fast of a painter, but I'm always hopeful...

Still not quite done with a project that is my priority right now.  I want to do Nibblefest this month, the theme is Sci-Fi and Aliens, but I'm not sure if I'll have time.  I don't really have a definite idea yet, just some vague ideas floating about, so we'll see...

Possibilities...

Here's a sketch of a girl with hair across her face.  I think it gives her a sweet and somewhat mysterious quality.  I'm not sure if I'll use her for anything or not, I was just playing around...

I'm sorry for doing a lot of posting and bolting lately, I do intend to do some visiting when I get further along with a project I'm working on.

My newest mermaid painting is temporarily out of reach.  I know I packed her from the show and I know she made it home, but where she is exactly at this moment I am unsure...  Organization is not my strongest suite.  I'm sure she'll turn up at some point though...

The No Themes and No Limits Show at the Chateau L'Amour...

Me with My Art

Here is some of my art at the No Themes and No Limits Show at the Chateau L'Amour.  I really embraced the No Themes element of the show and shared an eclectic mix of art.

Just My Art

I also photographed some of the art that I shared a wall with.  I was honored to share a wall with Alex Ledante and Christo Pharo.

Alex with His Art

I invite you to see more of Alex's art on his facebook page here, on his website here, and at his auctions here.

Christopharo's Art

I invite you to see more of Christo Pharo's art at his facebook page here and on his website here.

The Wall

Alex Ledante inspires me to try and be a better artist each and every day.  Christo Pharo inspired me to display some of my art and interact with people in person.  I am inspired by and thankful to both of them!  Thanks also to Dennis Delgado for letting me display my art at his gallery.

She Sells Seashells by the Seashore...

Here's a little sketch of a seashell necklace.  I may or may not use this drawing for something in the future.  It didn't end up going with my original concept, but we'll see what the future holds for it...

The Start of My Cardinal Painting...

Here is the start of my cardinal painting.  I'm not very far into it yet.  I try to work on more than one painting at a time.  One is the primary painting and the other is the secondary painting.  The primary painting tends to get priority.  Right now this is the secondary painting, I do love painting birds though.  I'll share the other one if I get permission to once it's finished (but that won't be for a while, I'm not the quickest of painters)...
