My Photograph of Red Orange Icelandic Poppies at Descanso Gardens + Sketch of a Big Eye Angel Fairy/ October 18 Art Sketches Daily...

I took this photograph of these red orange icelandic poppies at Descanso Gardens some time in May.  They are not presently blooming, but I was looking through my images and thought they were too beautiful not to share.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

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 downwards with a wary 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 October. This is day 18. 

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 48. 

This is a rough sketch.

A Photograph of a Purple Burgundy Icelandic Poppy at Descanso Gardens...

I believe this purple burgundy flower is an Icelandic poppy.  I took this photograph at Descanso Gardens some time ago, they aren't currently blooming here, but I love to visit flowers in my photographs that I have seen at different times.  I think poppies are such a sweet and lovely flower.  I hope you will enjoy this photo.
