"To Touch the Sky" Original 8"x10" Painting, Open Edition 8"x10" Giclee Prints, & Limited Edition Giclee ACEO Prints are available on my website Here

Last year was not one of my more productive years, but I am hopeful for the new year.  These sweet pea flower blossoms seem to be ever reaching upwards and I hope I will do so as well.  I think I am working on my little rat painting today, what a wonderful way to start the new year! 

May you and your loved ones have an amazing new year!

WIP Big Eye Self Portrait Art Original Painting Work in Progress + Sketch of a Mermaid, Sweet Pea Blossom, & Fairy/ JAN 26, 27, & 28 Art Sketches Daily...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of an idealized big eye version of myself, I've started working on the roses.  I have quite a few left to go and then I may revisit some of them; I think the roses will be a combination of wet into wet and layering.  I think this is the mermaid version of me...  I'm saving the highlights in the eyes until last.

This idealized big eyed self portrait is on a 16"x20" canvas in acrylics.    

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also 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 gently asleep...  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be a fairy angel 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 January. This is from day 26. 

This is a rough sketch. 

Here is a sketch of two sweet pea blossoms.  The flowers are in various stages of blooming...  I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She looks a little afraid, but worry not, all is fine...  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, 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.

Face 22 Sketch Art 29 Faces + Pink Sweet Pea Blossoms Painting Website Update...

This sketch is face 22 for the 29 faces September challenge.  She could be a big eye fairy angel or possibly a mermaid.  I think she has a certain intensity.  For 29 Faces, the challenge is to share 29 faces during the given month.

Chinstrap Penguin Bird Sketch Art + Purple & Burgundy Sweet Pea Blossoms Original Painting Website Update...

Here is a bird sketch of a chinstrap penguin.  I was drawn to sketch him because he seemed to be having so much fun in the snow.  Also, starting tomorrow, I will be sketching humanesque faces for the 29 faces in September challenge.  This time around specifies no animal faces, so I decided to get a non human face in for today...  I say humanesque faces, as they will be fantasy big eye females mostly, not so much strictly human...

I am listing "Budding Blooms," an original painting of two pink sweet pea blossoms against a soft blue sky.  Flowers are one of my favorite topics to paint...  I didn't finish the mermaid with seahorses for today, but hopefully for next Tuesday.  I'll try to post a mini update tomorrow.

I also have additional giclee art and ACEO prints here this week from Tuesday to Tuesday with a theme of flowers; there is a bird of paradise, an orchid, an iris, a rose, a tulip, anthuriums, and lilies too...

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.
