My Photograph of Purple Pansy Flowers at Descanso Gardens + July Sketches Art, Day 13 Sketch, Big Eye Angel...

I took this photograph of these flowers at Descanso Gardens.  I think these purple pansies are quite lovely.  Flammola (little flame) is what the pansy is known by in Italy... I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

I love to paint flowers, you may see some of my finished paintings at www.lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  I think she has a retro femme fatale feel.  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in July.  This is day 13.  

This is a rough sketch.
