Original Calla Lily Painting! Art Prints & ACEO Prints! May 5-8 Sketches...

"Flowing Grace" Original 12"x24" Painting on Canvas Here

This week my featured painting is "Flowing Grace".  I thought for this piece, it would be fun to use a long, narrow canvas.  Calla lilies are one of my favorite flowers, they have a beautiful flow to them. The original calla lily floral painting is available for purchase on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!  The prints are cropped to standard sizes.  

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 #mermay month, my theme is mermaids and mermaid friends, you may see them here.

My Photograph of a Calla Lily in my Garden + Fairy Angel Big Eye Curly Haired Gothic Sketch Art...

I took this photograph of a calla lily just starting to bloom in my garden.  It was just after some rain and it had delicate water droplets  I love calla lilies, they are such a beautiful flower.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo! 

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  She is a fairy angel with beautiful curly hair.  I was drawn to sketch her by her curls.  I don't think I've painted curly hair before, I've done ringlets (once), but I find her mass of curls highly appealing.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.  

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...
