Art Sketch of a Bobcat Cub, June 25 Daily Sketches + Original Mermaid Painting by Artist Catherine Al-Rubaie...

Here is a sketch of a bobcat cub.  This little wild cat was so cute and fluffy...  I'm unsure if I'll paint him or not, but I did enjoy sketching him. 

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in June.  This is day 25.  

This is a rough sketch.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

I am also participating in Sunday Sketches.  To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

Reef Guardian by Artist Catherine Al-Rubaie

I love this painting by my friend Artist Catherine Al-Rubaie, it's available here on ebay starting at 99c, no reserve.  This original "Reef Guardian" mermaid painting is an original 11"x14" oil painting on a cradled 1.5" wooden panel.  In addition to the stunning blonde mermaid, there is a lovely reef and some gorgeous fish.  I think whoever wins this painting will be lucky indeed!  

Fantasy and Realist Art by Artist Catherine Al-Rubaie...

Recently these pieces by artist Catherine Al-Rubaie arrived to me in the mail.  I feel so honored to have more of her gorgeous art added to my collection.  The top fairy is an original ACEO, imagining painting those tiny little details makes my head spin a little!  The bottom two are ACEO prints, the quality is excellent and the prints are lovely.  The fairy print at the bottom left is the one I collaborated with her on the character concept art.  The grapes at the bottom right I have been in awe of for some time.  I love my newest lovely fantasy original surreal by Catherine so much and I am so glad to have the prints as well!  She is one of my all time favorite artists!  I would highly recommend checking out some of this artist's work here on ebay or if you prefer etsy, she also has art here.

Catherine Al-Rubaie is an incredible and inspiring artist!  I am linking this post with Inspire Me Monday
