Chocolate Brown Labrador Lab Puppy Dog! Art Prints & ACEO Prints! Alex Ledante on Youtube...

"Man's Best Friend" 8"x10" Prints and LE ACEO Prints here

This week my featured image is "Man's Best Friend," the original painting has already found its forever home but this canine art is available as art prints and LE ACEO prints!  The dog is inspired by a chocalate brown labrador lab dog with great love in its eyes.  The art has a painterly realist impressionist feel... 

Most of my art is also available on my website at lisabellarusso.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, but there are more than just mermaids to see.  If you would like to take a look; you may see them here.

I love watching his videos, they are a welcome respite; even though there's just a like button, I hope you'll love them too and hit the like and subscribe buttons as well!

Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP + April Sketches, Sketch 1, Puppy Dog...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye Day of the Dead / Dia de los Muertos fantasy painting, I've painted her eyelashes and I'm working on her shadows...  I think I'm pretty close to being able to move on to painting her hair.  Eyes are probably my favorite thing to paint, but hair is also usually fun.  I'm going to try to have her done for Tuesday, but we'll see...  This is an 8"x10" painting on panel.

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.

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

Here is a sketch of a sweet dog.  This pup is cuddled up against her fluffy toy.  I doubt I'll paint her, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in April.  This is day 1.   

This is a rough sketch.

Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP + March Sketches, Sketch 25, Puppy Dog...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye Day of the Dead / Dia de los Muertos fantasy painting, I've done most of her makeup.  I still need to paint in her eyelashes.  Then she gets some shading which I will be attempting to do with glazing.  After that, I'll paint her hair and any touch ups that she needs.  If this weekend were a normal weekend, it's possible I would have her done by Tuesday, but since we'll be celebrating Easter I think it's more likely she'll be done the Tuesday after next...  This is an 8"x10" painting on panel.


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.

I'm also participating in Show Your Face this week.

Here is a sketch of a sweet spotted puppy in a field of flowers.  Dogs are so wonderful and full of love and this little one is no exception.  I probably won't paint him, but I did enjoy sketching him.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in March.  This is day 25.   

This is a rough sketch.
