I love to paint flowers, you may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

====================================================

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She is looking upwards with a caring expression.  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 July.  This is from day 18.

This is a rough sketch. 

Here is a sketch of an anthurium.  I love how the shape of the flowers and their leaves resembles the shape of hearts.  I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She seems to be pondering something with her eyes are closed in deep concentration.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, 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.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  I think she has a kawaii gothic Lolita feeling.  She has a sweet soft smile and stars and moons on her cheeks.  I think she is most likely an fairy angel, 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.

A Photograph of a Yellow and White Bearded Iris at Descanso Gardens...

I believe I took this photograph of a yellow and white bearded iris last year at Descanso Gardens, they aren't currently in bloom, but the roses and waterlilies are.  I think there is great beauty in flowers, irises are one of my favorite flowers...

Sketch of a Yellow Bearded Iris...

One of my goals is to sketch more frequently, I think if I sketch more often, my skill and speed will improve.  This sketch is of a yellow bearded iris.  This week I have a sketching theme of flowers.  On Sunday I will post them as a group and take input on which flower to paint.  I also want to paint more frequently for the reasons stated above.  I'm going to try to do a small painting a week in addition to working on my other projects.  I hope to do this often, but how often and how successfully will depend on a variety of factors...
