Original Purple Clematis Painting! 1st Tuesday Art Prints & ACEO Prints! January Sketches...

"Clematis" Original 5"x7" Painting on Panel Here

This week my featured painting is "Clematis".  This purple flower was inspired by a photo by Shawn Parker Photography.   The art has a realist impressionist feel.  The original floral painting has some texture in the background and is available for purchase on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!


Most of my art is also available on my website at lisarusso.com; however, on the first Tuesday of the month, I like to put some art prints and LE ACEO prints on ebay at a lower promotional rate for the duration of the auctions...  This month, my theme is Chinese Zodiac animals (although a Western dragon has sneaked in), you may see them here.

=================================================

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She has a fantastic bow in her hair and a bit of a questioning gaze.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a goddess or mermaid.  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 January.  This is day 17.  

This is a rough sketch.
