Original Golden Snub Nosed Monkey Chinese Zodiac Painting! 1st Tuesday Art Prints & ACEO Prints! January Sketches...

"Clever Monkey" Original 5"x7" Painting on Panel here

This week my featured painting is "Clever Monkey," an original golden snub nosed monkey painting.  The year of the monkey is drawing to a close, soon it will be the year of the rooster...  This is last year's painting inspired by the Chinese New Year Zodiac animals.  I will try to finish a small rooster painting for this year.  This original animal painting is available for purchase on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!  The art has a realist impressionist feel...


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 Chinese New Year Zodiac animals, you may see them here.

I haven't yet painted every animal of the Zodiac and one of my Western dragons has snuck in, but it is a project I am working on slowly...  Some of these animals I've painted more of than are indicated in this grouping, they may be found on my website; with some available as originals and prints, with some only as prints...

==================================================

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She is drifting in sweet repose with her little hat atop her head; in retrospect, I think I should have given her a pillow to soften her rest...  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 January.  This is day 3.  

This is a rough sketch.

Sketch of a Big Eye Fairy Angel with a Hedgehog, March 19 Daily Art + Snub Nosed Monkey Animal Original Painting Website Update...

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden with a hedgehog.  I love hedgehogs, but I have never drawn or painted one before, they are definitely on my wishlist of what I'd like to paint...  She seems very protective of her little friend.  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a mermaid or 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 March.  This is day 19.   

This is a rough sketch.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

My Photograph of a Francois' Langur Monkey at the Los Angeles Zoo + 29 Faces Sketch Art, Face 10...

Gong Hey Fat Choy!  Happy Chinese New Year and I hope the year of the monkey will be a splendid one!  I took this photograph of a Francois' Langur monkey at the Los Angeles Zoo quite some time ago.  I thought about using this one for my zodiac monkey painting, but I wanted to focus more on a face.  He was definitely a cutey though!  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!


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

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  I think she has a sweet and thoughtful quality...  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.   

She is face 10 for 29 faces in February.  The goal is to share 29 faces in the month of February.
