Serious Big Eye Gothic Angel Fairy Sketch Art + Purple Rose Website Update...

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I can see her as a mermaid or an angel fairy, I think she has a sweet and serious quality.  Perhaps she is also a little bit sad, when I do art I try to go where the piece takes me.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

Bemused Big Eye Gothic Fairy Angel Sketch Art...

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  This fairy angel has a sweet and bemused expression on her face.  I think I might like to paint her at some point, if I ever get a handle on painting with this heat.  Definitely the summer means more sketches and less painting, but I very much also want to paint...  The good news though is that I get to explore a lot of ideas during this time of year.

Cautious Big Eye Gothic Fairy Angel Sketch Art

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I think she is a cautious fairy angel who has caught sight of the mortal realm and is looking with a wary gaze.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.  It's difficult for me to paint as much as I would like in the summers, the paints behave differently in the heat, but I enjoy working with ideas.  I'm not giving up on the notion of painting this summer, it's just a bit more challenging!

My Photograph of a Painted Lady Butterfly on a Lilac at Descanso Gardens...

I took this photograph of a Painted Lady butterfly at Descanso Gardens.  Here is she is on a white lilac flower in their lilac garden, I love Painted Lady butterflies!  I'm not sure if the lilacs are currently in bloom, but when they are, they are incredible.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I think she had a fairy tale feeling of perhaps Belle of Beauty and the Beast, although she could be a mermaid or an angel or a fairy or perhaps even a goddess.  It's been a while since I've worked on a fairytale inspired femme.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her. 

Mermaid Big Eye Gothic Sketch Art...

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  She has long beautiful hair and I loved her lips.  I'm leaning towards mermaid, but she could be a fairy and angel or a goddess.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.   I think she has a possible mermaid look, but she could be a fairy angel or a goddess.  I'm thinking that if she were a mermaid, she would have a siren's song...  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

My Photograph of an Angel Sculpture at Armstrong Garden Center + Fairy Angel Big Eye Gothic Sketch Art...

I took this photograph of an angel sculpture at Armstrong Garden Center in La Canada.  I was looking for an angel sculpture to send to family and I wanted to compare this one with another I had in mind, so I took a photo.  I ended up going with a smaller piece, but I thought this one was very pretty and I loved how they had her displayed at Armstrong.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo! 

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I think she may be a fairy angel with a very direct appeal, or she could possibly be a mermaid or a goddess.  I might like to paint her but my reference image is very tiny...  Still, I am glad to have sketched her!
