A Little Dragon Sketch...

Here is a sketch of a young dragon.  I haven't decided yet if I want the dragon to be on an 8"x10" or a 5"x7" base, it depends on how the compostion looks when I play with it in photoshop...

A Photograph of a Yellow and White Bearded Iris at Descanso Gardens...

Mermaid Plus Seahorses Sketch...

Here is my big eye mermaid sketch transferred to the panel with her seahorse friends, it's a little hard to see, but it should be more clear as I start to apply paint.  I've been wanting to start on this 11"x14" painting of a mermaid and her seahorses for a while, but I am easily distracted by so many things I want to paint...

Mermaid Face Sketch...

This big eye sketch is part of my process for a mermaid painting who will have a couple of seahorse friends that I sketched some time ago.  I'm going to play around with the layout combining them together in photoshop before I'm ready to start on the actual piece.

my art (Lisa Isabella Russo)

Here is my art and me with my art at the show.  It was wonderful to look at the joy on some of the people's faces as they looked at my art.  This wall represents around a full year of what I have been doing.  There are some pieces that are not there because they didn't quite fit or were sold prior to the show, but that is almost all of the works I have done since around this time last year...  To see more of my art, please visit http://www.lisarusso.com.
