Happy Juneteenth! Original Big Eye Black Garden Guardian Angel Fairy Fantasy Lowbrow Surreal Painting!


Happy Juneteenth from this big eye garden guardian and from me at lisabellarusso.com!


This week my featured painting is "Orchid Intrigue," an original big eye black garden guardian painting.  I painted it for Diversity and Inclusion: The Influence of African-American Art in Southern California at the Ontario Museum of Art Exhibit.  She has a blue hued orchid upon her head.  In some traditional African American gardens, blue bottles are hung as blue is considered a protective color.  She shares the depth of her emotions through her big luminous eyes.  This original painting is available as are art prints and LE ACEO prints, however I have yet to remove her from her frame add the options to my website.  I will share her again when I've done so.  The art has a painterly lowbrow avant garde surreal feel.

Juneteenth is a holiday I only became aware of this year.  It is a celebration of the end of slavery in Texas.  In my art, I strive to celebrate what is beautiful.  Freedom is so beautiful, I hope your day is amazing...


Most of my art is also available on my website at lisabellarusso.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 sunflowers, but there are more than solely flowers to see.  If you would like to take a look; you may see them here.
