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.

"Clever Monkey" is my newest addition to my website.  The original acrylic painting is on a panel.  This snub nosed monkey was painted in honor of Chinese New Year.  I love to paint animals.  The art has a soft realist impressionist feel.

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!

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.
