My Photograph of a Squirrel on a Pumpkin at Descanso Gardens + October Sketches Art, Day 26 Sketch, Big Eye Mermaid...



This photograph of this squirrel on a pumpkin was taken at at Descanso Gardens.  He was surrounded by acorns, but preferred the pumpkin.  I thought it was very cute and perfect for National Pumpkin Day.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!


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



Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  I think she has a very direct gaze and her hair is flowing gently around her...  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be a goddess or a fairy angel.  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 26.  

This is a rough sketch.
