Angel Fairy Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP + Sakura Cherry Blossoms Flowers Art Website Update...

Here is a work in progress view of my 11"x14" original angel fairy painting.  Now I feel her face is closer to the very pale look that I am going for this angelic gothic fae, but her neck is a bit too cool in tone.  So, back to the drawing board, or in this case the painting board...

"Sakura Ichi" Original 5"x7" Painting, Open Edition 5"x7" Giclee Prints, & Limited Edition Giclee ACEO Prints Here

Edit:  Original painting now sold, thanks so much C!

"Sakura Ichi" is a one of my floral paintings.  It is the first in my series of cherry blossom paintings.  I've made a slight change to the pistils, they're a little bit lighter in color, since I listed this piece a couple of weeks ago.  I sometimes see a way to improve the art after I initially thought it was complete and I feel that is the case with these spring flowers.  It's a subtle change, but I feel they now have a more delicate feel.  This piece is available as prints and Limited Edition ACEOs! 

My website at http://www.lisarusso.com has more art available, including additional flower art in the floral art section!

Every week on Tuesday, I try to list a small original, some giclee art prints, and giclee LE ACEO prints at promotional prices. Visit here to see what I have available this week! 

Big Eye Gothic Fairy Angel Mermaid Sketch Art + Landscape Waterfall Website Update...

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I am uncertain if she would like to be a mermaid, angel, fairy, or possibly a goddess; or some combination thereof.  I think she has an inquisitive contemplative quality.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

My Photograph of Cherry Blossoms Flowers at Schabarum Park + Mermaid Big Eye Gothic Sketch Art...

I took this photograph of some pink cherry blossoms at Schabarum Park.  The brief season that these flowers bloom is past for this year, but this is one of a number of photographs I took as potential reference to be used for paintings, but I thought this photograph looked beautiful even as it was...  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I think she'd make an excellent mermaid with her long flowing hair, but she could be a fairy or an angel.  Her eyes are large even for one of my mermaids!  I think I'd like to paint her, but I'm feeling very disorganized with the projects I have lined up.  Alex of The Darker Side of Passion is attempting to help me to get organized, but it's a challenge...

Angel Fairy Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP...

Here is a work in progress view of my 11"x14" original angel fairy painting.  I've painted her face a bit more, but my feeling is that her skin tone is a little too yellow and her neck area is too dark at this point.  I'm not sure how many more layers I need before I move on to her facial details like her eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips; but, I'm happy with the direction she is going in...

Jasmine Becket-Griffith is one of my all time favorite artists.  I have admired her art since the first time I saw it some years ago.  I visit her facebook page here often to be awed and inspired.  She paints such gorgeous big eyed females!  I've visited her art at the Wonderground Gallery a number of times, but Friday I went to her show and met her in person.  In addition to being seriously skilled and talented, she is incredibly kind as well.  I was extremely nervous to meet one of my art idols, but she was so amazing.  If you have the opportunity to go to one of her shows in person, I highly recommend it.  Her art is phenomenal and she is so sweet.  She's highly prolific and has a vast assortment of such intensely lovely art, to see more of it, I invite you to visit here website here.
