Sketch of a Big Eye Fairy, September 4, Art Sketches Daily, 29 Faces in September...

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  Her hair is piled wildly on her hair and accented with flowers.  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. 

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in September.  This is day 4.   She is also face 4 for the 29 faces challenge in September.

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

WIP Dia de los Muertos Day of the Dead Art Original Painting Work in Progress + September Sketches, Sketch 2, Elf Fairy...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye maiden painting I've started on her makeup.  Sometimes I flit from painting to painting, sometimes I am more focused on one than any other, she is my primary focus painting at the moment...  She is a Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead sugar skull inspired painting.  The butterflies are monarch butterflies and they surround her.  I still have quite a ways to go with her makeup before I start on adding in some more shading...  This fairy angel is an 11"x14" acrylic painting. 

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.

Original Anthurium Flowers Painting! Art Prints & ACEO Prints! August Sketches...

"Joyous Duet" Original 18"x24" Painting on Canvas Here

This week my featured painting is "Joyous Duet".  The two flowers are in harmony with each other. The original anthurium floral painting is available for purchase on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!

On the 1st Tuesday of the month I list some prints at a sale rate for 30 days  The theme this month is cute and fluffy animals with Little Bo Peep as a chaperone, but this time the auctions will go dark before the next 1st Tuesday, so I'm listing this one as a sale print and LE ACEO as a bridge...  There will be additional art available as open edition giclee art and LE ACEO prints here next Tuesday.

Most of my art is also available on my website at www.lisarusso.com; however, I like to put some art on ebay at a lower promotional rate for the duration of the auctions... I have been updating my website. It's an ongoing project, but there is now an excellent selection of art available!

WIP Dia de los Muertos Day of the Dead Art Original Painting Work in Progress + August Sketches, Sketch 29, Anthurium...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye maiden painting I've worked on the background and a couple of the butterflies...  She is a Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead sugar skull inspired painting.  The butterflies are monarch butterflies and they surround her.  I'm having trouble uploading images to my computer from my camera, so this is a roughly cobbled together scan...  I have to get another tool for that, but I didn't have time for today.  I'd also love to get a large format scanner someday, but another tool is more likely...  This fairy angel is an 11"x14" acrylic painting. 

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 www.lisarusso.com if you'd like.
