My Photograph of a Red Flower at Huntington Gardens + July Sketches Art, Day 6 Sketch, Gothic Angel...

I took this photograph of this flower at Huntington Gardens.  I'm not sure what kind of flower it is, but I thought it was quite beautiful... I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

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

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  I think she has a deeply contemplative look.  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 July.  This is day 6.

This is a rough sketch.

My Red Orchid Tropical Flower Art Original Painting! Art Prints & ACEOs!

This Week "Red Abundance" Original 5"x7" Painting here

5"x7" Open Edition print here

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

I am listing "Red Abundance," an original painting of a red orchid.  Orchids have such a diversity of form, they are one of my favorite flowers in part for that reason.  I think this is my first time listing this piece, I painted it initially for a small works show at Elon and recently found it.  The art has a realist impressionist feel...

I also have additional giclee art and ACEO prints here this week from Tuesday to Tuesday with a theme of tropical flowers.  

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 that I am making progress at.
