Original Big Eye Gothic Angel Fairy Painting + Art Prints & ACEO Prints! December Sketches...

"Orchid" Original 4"x4" Painting on Panel Here

This week my featured painting is "Orchid". She has huge brown eyes, red streaked hair, and her wings are inspired by hummingbird wings.  It is one of my smallest paintings.  The painting has a lowbrow surreal fantasy feel.  This original big eye gothic angel fairy painting is available for purchase on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!   

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 mermaids and mermaid friends, you may see them here.

Here is a sketch of a nasturtium.  It is a front facing view of this flower...  I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it. 

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in December.  This is from day 18.  

This is a rough sketch.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has a look of wisdom...  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.

WIP Big Eye Orchid Angel Fairy Art Original Painting Work in Progress + Sketches, December 16 & 17/ Big Eye Goddess & Nasturtium Flower Daily Sketch...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of a big eye orchid angel fairy, I've continued to work on her orchid.  I've done some more shading and paint the flower's core, it is now complete.  Next I will proceed to wispies and eye details.  There is some gold leaf in the background and there will be a little gold leaf in her eyes.  She is part of my garden guardian series.  She is titled "Orchid Intrigue."

This big eyed beauty is on a 16"x20" canvas in acrylics.  This piece and "Moonrise" have been accepted by the Ontario Museum of History & Art "Diversity and Inclusion:  The Influence of African American Art in Southern California Exhibit."  They accepted them as works in progress, so I'm a busy bee trying to get them finished hopefully well before the deadline...

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 seems deep in contemplation...  I think she is most likely a goddess, 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.
