Here is a sketch of some cherry blossoms.  I love their soft and delicate beauty...  I'm unsure if I'll paint them or not, but I did enjoy sketching them.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in January.  This is from day 30.  

This is a rough sketch.

Here is a sketch of a monarch butterfly on a flower.  I believe the flower it has landed on is an allium, I just think of them as Dr. Seuss flowers...  I'm unsure if I'll paint him or not, but I did enjoy sketching him.

WIP Mermaid + AngelFish Art Original Painting Work in Progress + January Sketches, Sketch 27, Camellia Flower

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of a big eye mermaid with her angelfish friends, I have been working on her skin tones.  I think I'm happy with the skin tones in her face at this point, I've also painted in some more skin below her neck, I think I almost gave her a little too much hair...  I need to paint in her eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips; then I'll be on to her hair. 

This big eyed beauty is on a 16"x20" canvas in acrylics.

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.

My Photograph an Orange Rose at Descanso Gardens + January Sketch Art, Day 25 Sketches, Starfish...

I took this photograph of this orange rose at Descanso Gardens a while back.  I've been searching through my photographs for roses for an angel fairy I am working on the details of and while this one isn't quite what I was looking for, I think the colors in this sunset sunrise rose are so beautiful...  I hope that you will enjoy this photo! 

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