My mother carved this adorable Totoro inspired pumpkin for Halloween and I took this photograph to share with you! I hope you enjoy this extra dose of cuteness...
=================================================
Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden. She has a look of gentle intensity... 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 October. This is from day 30.
I would like to try to reach a goal of 100 faces sketched on consecutive days, I started this effort on September 1st, 2017... This is face 60.
This is a rough sketch. You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Your pumpkin suits so good the Halloween time and the fall!
The pumpkin is amazingly beautiful. Love the sketches, too. Hugs, Valerie
Wow your mom is talented, beautiful pumpkin! The maidens are lovely, great costumes too.
Your mom is so talented with the carving. Love the sketches especially the one with the hat.
And I didn't think Totoro could be any cuter! Your mom did an amazing job!! And your faces, always lovely but I am seeing a transformation as you do the sketch a day. There is just something happening there with them that is wonderful to watch. A "certainty" in the very lines of them all as of late? Not sure what it is but they are all truly wonderful! Hoping your Hallow's Eve/Samhain was wonderful!
Thanks very much Victoria, SHON, Valerie, Christine, Nicole, and Nicolas! I'll pass on your sweet words about the pumpkin to my mother.
It was lovely to see the carved pumpkin, your mom did a very good job.
All the best Jan
I love the pumpkin!! Cool!
All your maidens are gorgeous, but the one with the mask and the other with the hat are so cool! Well done Lisa! Big Hugs!
Thanks very much Jan and Stacy!
