El Festival de las Flores at the Neutra Institute Gallery & Museum Show Opening Photographs & Upcoming Closing! Art Sketch of a Big Eye Fairy Angel, April 28 Daily Sketches...


Me (artist Lisa Isabella Russo) with my iris painting in the golden frame "Variegated Bliss" and a lovely piece below mine by Reidar Schoopp.

Here are some of my photographs from the opening day of El Festival de las Flores at the Neutra Institute Gallery & Museum Show.  There were a lot of wonderful pieces, these are just a sampling...   

Edit: It looks like the curator is feeling better, the closing is as scheduled on May 7th from 6-9, we'll likely be there towards the end..
The closing reception was scheduled for Sunday May 7th from 6-9 PM; however the curator had a medical emergency, I'll update you as I know more...

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:
================================================


Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She is glancing upwards at a monarch butterfly friend...  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a goddess or a 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 April.  This is day 28.

This is a rough sketch.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.
