Athena Minerva Goddess + Owl Sketch Art & Steampunk Harvestman Spider Website Update...

I think that this sketch of the goddess Athena / Minerva with her owl companion is very close to being ready to transfer to canvas.  I've been working on getting her face right, sketching various owls, combining the two...  Sometimes getting the sketch right can take me quite a while, but I think it's worth it to have a sketch that really works for me before I start painting...


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

Harvestman Original 5"x7" Painting, Open Edition 5"x7" Giclee Prints & Limited Edition Giclee ACEO Prints Here

Harvestman is of an opilione arachnid.  When I started the painting, I thought he was a spider, but I learned otherwise.  I think he'd make a fine addition to a steampunk or fall or Halloween decor!  The style is a steampunk realism.  This piece available as an original, as prints, and Limited Edition ACEOs!  

Every week on Tuesday, I try to list a small original, some giclee art prints, and giclee LE ACEO prints at promotional prices. Visit here to see what I have available this week!

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

I am listing "Hallofaerie," an original gothic big eye fairy angel Halloween painting.  I love the fae and I love Halloween, so this painting combines two that I love...  I am also listing "Harvestman," my original steampunk spider like painting.  Technically, this little guy isn't a spider, he's actually an opilione (more commonly called harvestmen), but I feel he went with my fall theme and would make an excellent addition to a gothic Halloween decor... 

I also have additional giclee art and ACEO prints here this week from Tuesday to Tuesday with a theme of fall and things that make me think of fall.  It's a varied assortment, from a cuddly bull mastiff dog to a magical pond, so if you have a chance, I invite you to take a look...

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.

This week I am listing "Snowy Bunny," an original white winter bunny rabbit that's just as ready for spring and Easter as you are!  Although bunnies are often considered garden pests, I love them bunches.  I'm starting to rework my initial sketch for the bunny that was voted for.

I also have additional giclee art and ACEO prints here with a theme of garden friends.   

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 am just getting started at updating and adding payment buttons to my website.  It's a very slow project, but one I hope to focus on.

This Week "Harvestman" Original 5"x7" Painting here

5"x7" print here

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

Here is "Harvestman" my eight legged steampunk arachnid painting.  It is the one that was voted for a while back, he took me far longer then I expected, so many legs!  It turns out this arachnid is actually an Opilione harvestmen, as are daddy longlegs, and not a spider.  Apparently spiders have more eyes, amongst other differences...  I usually only list one original per week, but this time I decided to list two!
