Snowy Night Unicorn + Art Prints & ACEO Prints! December 6-18 Daily Sketches...



"Snowy Night" Original Painting Sold, Open Edition 7"x5" Giclee Prints & Limited Edition Giclee ACEO Prints Here

This week my featured image is "Snowy Night."  The art has a lowbrow surreal feel. This unicorn is inspired by a photograph of a horse by Shawn Parker.   While the original is sold, I hope you will enjoy this magical being.  At this point Christmas delivery isn't guaranteed, but prints and LE ACEO prints are available.


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 a group of some of my favorites, you may see them here.

December 6-18 Sketches

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in December. They are all rough sketches.  I'm quite a bit behind in sharing my daily sketches, so I've grouped the images in groups so it isn't quite so overwhelming.  You may see them individually on facebook here.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.


December 6:  Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She seems to be considering potentials.  I think she is most likely a goddess, although she could also be a fairy angel or a mermaid.
December 7:  Here is a sketch of zinnia blossoms.  They are full of lovely details...

November 28-December 5 Sketches

I decided to do a sketch a day in November and have decided to continue this challenge through December. They are all rough sketches.  I'm quite a bit behind in sharing my daily sketches, so I've grouped the images in groups so it isn't quite so overwhelming.  You may see November's individually on facebook here and December's here.

November 29:  Here is a sketch of a sweet pea blossom.  They are such charming flowers... 
November 30:  Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has a delicate sweetness...  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess.


December 1:  Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has a caring gaze...  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess.
December 2:  Here is a sketch of a peony bud.  They are such lovely flowers...
December 3:  Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She seems to be deep in thought.  I think she is most likely a goddess, although she could also be a fairy angel or a mermaid.
December 4:  Here is a sketch of a sunflower.  There is something about these flowers that calls to me...
December 5:  Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She seems as if she has arisen from the ocean's depths...  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be a fairy angel or a goddess.
