Happy Father's Day & Summer Solstice + Big Eye Gothic Fairy Angel Sketch...

Today is both Father's Day and Summer Solstice!  I painted this as a gift for my father, he loves the ocean.  I thought it was fitting for both.  I hope you are having a wonderful day.  Happy wishes from http://www.lisarusso.com!

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  This fairy angel is wearing a fluffy feather headdress.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

Bemused Big Eye Gothic Fairy Angel Sketch Art...

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  This fairy angel has a sweet and bemused expression on her face.  I think I might like to paint her at some point, if I ever get a handle on painting with this heat.  Definitely the summer means more sketches and less painting, but I very much also want to paint...  The good news though is that I get to explore a lot of ideas during this time of year.

Cautious Big Eye Gothic Fairy Angel Sketch Art

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I think she is a cautious fairy angel who has caught sight of the mortal realm and is looking with a wary gaze.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.  It's difficult for me to paint as much as I would like in the summers, the paints behave differently in the heat, but I enjoy working with ideas.  I'm not giving up on the notion of painting this summer, it's just a bit more challenging!

My Photograph of a Painted Lady Butterfly on a Lilac at Descanso Gardens...

I took this photograph of a Painted Lady butterfly at Descanso Gardens.  Here is she is on a white lilac flower in their lilac garden, I love Painted Lady butterflies!  I'm not sure if the lilacs are currently in bloom, but when they are, they are incredible.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

My Gothic Angel Blue Big Eye Art Original Painting! Art Prints & ACEOs! + Belle Sketch

This Week "Twilight Angel" Original 8"x10" Painting here

8"x10" Open Edition print here

ACEO 2.5"x3.5" Limited Edition LE 1st of 25 here

I am listing "Twilight Angel," an original painting of an angel fairy with huge blue eyes and light blue hair.  I've listed her fairly recently, but I wanted to offer her at the promo start rate again before I put her on my website at full price.  The art has a lowbrow surreal feel...  

I also have additional giclee art and ACEO prints here this week from Tuesday to Tuesday with a theme of angel fairies.    

Most of my art is also available on my website at http://www.lisarusso.com; however, I like to offer some art on ebay at a lower promotional start rate for the duration of the auctions...  I have started at updating and adding payment buttons to my website.  It's a very slow project, but one I am working on.

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  I think she had a fairy tale feeling of perhaps Belle of Beauty and the Beast, although she could be a mermaid or an angel or a fairy or perhaps even a goddess.  It's been a while since I've worked on a fairytale inspired femme.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her. 

Mermaid Big Eye Gothic Sketch Art...

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.  She has long beautiful hair and I loved her lips.  I'm leaning towards mermaid, but she could be a fairy and angel or a goddess.  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

Here is a sketch of a big eye gothic maiden.   I think she has a possible mermaid look, but she could be a fairy angel or a goddess.  I'm thinking that if she were a mermaid, she would have a siren's song...  I'm not sure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.
