Happy Valentine's Day! Heart on the Horizon...

 


I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's day.  I painted this image of a heart rising on the horizon of purple mountains quite some time ago, but it still speaks to me of hope and love.

Happy Valentine's Day! Original Big Eye Harley Quinn Portrait of a Renegade Painting...

 



Harley Quinn and I would like to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!

"Portrait of a Renegade" is one of my most recent paintings and the original big eye painting is spoken for, but prints and LE ACEO prints are available upon request.  This was my first time painting graffiti and one of my first Holbein Duo Water Soluble oil paintings.  I very much enjoyed the process.

Original Valentine's Heart Paintings + Art Prints & ACEO Prints! Pip & Pop at the Corey Helford Gallery...



"Amidst the Sky" Original 5"x5" Painting here
"Dark Matters of the Heart" Original 5"x5" Painting here
"Heart of Darkness" Original 5"x5" Painting here
"Pink on Pink" Original 5"x5" Painting here

This week I am featuring four original heart paintings. I love Valentine's Day, while I think we should celebrate the love we share for others all year long, I do think it's wonderful that we have a special day to honor those we love in our life... These heart paintings look great together or apart. The originals all have elements of texture.  The art has a lowbrow contemporary pop abstract feel.

In honor of Valentine's day, I will offer the originals with free shipping if you purchase one of these original hearts by February 14th 2018.  Just message me with the title of the heart you want for you or a loved one and I'll send you a paypal invoice with the adjusted rate or I'll refund you the cost of shipping after purchase...


Most of my art is also available on my website at lisarusso.com; however, on the first Tuesday of the month, I like to put some art prints and LE ACEO prints on ebay at a lower promotional rate for the duration of the auctions... This month, my theme is hearts; you may see them here.

A fun feature with these hearts is that there are some variations between the originals and the prints, please click to see them amongst my monthly auctions or at the links to my website above if you'd like to see the variations plus a couple more heart options...

Pip & Pop "Here Comes Sunshine" Installation at the Corey Helford Gallery
Open until Februrary 17, 2018
Part I

I found this art installation absolutely adorable.  "Here Comes Sunshine" is the debut U.S. Installation of artist Pip & Pop.  I was at the Corey Helford Gallery to see another show, but found the installation as well as the available pieces of "The Rainbow Gang" utterly charming.  They also had a video of Australian artist Tanya Schultz discussing and creating some of her fascinating works.  With sugar and assorted materials, she aims to create an earthly utopia.

This is part I of II of the Pip & Pop art focused on the "Here Comes Sunshine" Installation.  

Edit, Pip & Pop "The Rainbow Gang" part II is here.

Most of my art is also available on my website at lisarusso.com; however, on the first Tuesday of the month, I like to put some art prints and LE ACEO prints on ebay at a lower promotional rate for the duration of the auctions...  This month, my theme is hearts; some of my hearts are abstract, some are connected to fairy angels, you may see them here.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She has hearts on her face in celebration of Valentine's Day.  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid.  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 February.  This is day 14.

This is a rough sketch.  I am also participating in the February 29 Faces Challenge, this is face 14.
