Original Little Owl Bird Painting! Art Prints & ACEO Prints! WIP Chocolate Labrador Lab Puppy Dog Work in Progress...



"Owlie" Original 10"x13" Painting on Wooden Plank here

This week my featured painting is "Owlie," an original Athene noctua owl painting.  Owlie is painted directly on a wood plank and would be great for fall or any time of the year!  There is hanging hardware on the back of the original so it is ready to hang.  This original bird painting is available on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!  The art has a painterly realist impressionist feel... 


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 mermaids; you may see them here.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She seems to be dreaming sweetly...  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 November. This from day 20. 

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 81. 

This is a rough sketch.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  Her big eyes seem sad but wise and her hair flows freely around her...  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be a goddess or a fairy angel.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

This Week "Owlie" Original 10"x13" Painting here

ACEO 2.5"x3.5" Limited Edition LE 1st of 25 here

I am listing "Owlie," an original painting of a Little Owl (Athene noctua) painted directly on to a wooden plank.  Alex found this owl whilst I was looking for the right one to be on the shoulder of my Athena painting.  He was not quite right for that, but he was so cute, I thought he deserved to be painted solo.

I also have additional giclee art and ACEO prints here this week from Tuesday to Tuesday with a theme of birds and blooms.  I used to subscribe to a magazine by that name, I really did love it, now I am tempting myself to re subscribe...

Most of my art is also available on my website at http://www.lisarusso.com; however, I like to offer some art on ebay at a lower promotional start rate for the duration of the auctions...  I have started at updating and adding payment buttons to my website.  It's a very slow project, but one I am working on.

Little Owl (Athene noctua) Bird Sketch + Blue Purple Mermaid Fairy Website Update...



Here is another little owl (Athene noctua), once I get on a topic, I tend to roll with it for a while.  I don't think this is Athena's owl, but it is a sibling.  I plan on doing an individual painting of this one...

A Little Owl (Athene noctua) Sketch Two & a Purple Calla Lily Flower Website Update...



Here is a sketch of a Little Owl (Athene noctua).  This is the favored owl of the Greek goddess Athena, also known as Minerva by the Romans.  Alex suggested that I might want my owl for my painting of Athens to be in more of an upright pose than the one I sketched before, he found this owl for me.  I like them both, but I think this may fit the mood of the piece a little more so than the first one...
