WIP Clematis Flower Art Original Painting Work in Progress + April Sketches, Sketch 30, Angel Fairy...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP clematis flower painting the petals are blocked in and I've started with the lights.  I'm planning on shading the darks with glazing and then I'll move on to the core of the flower.  The flower this is inspired by is courtesy of the wonderful Shawn Parker Photography.  This is a 5"x7" painting on panel and I am optimistic that I will complete it on time for Tuesday!  

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.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has long flowing hair and she seems perhaps surprised at what is before her...  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.

WIP Gothic Fairy Angel Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress + April Sketches, Sketch 23, Butterfly...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye gothic maiden painting I've painted her eyes...  Next I'll be moving on to her skin tone in her neck and shoulders and then her face.  I don't always know the title in advance, but she will be titled "Pandora," as I see in her sadness mixed with hope.  She is likely a fairy angel.  This is an 8"x10" painting on gallery wrapped canvas.  

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.

Here is a sketch of a butterfly happy ensconced in a flower's core.  I'm so happy when I see butterflies, they're so delicate and beautiful and sometimes they take my breath away.  I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.

My Photograph of a Golden Tree Bough at Descanso Gardens + April Sketches Art, Day 27, Fairy Angel...

I took this photograph of this golden tree bough at Descanso Gardens.  I thought it was interesting because it gleamed with fall colors in the midst of spring.  I don't know what kind of tree this it, but I thought it was quite lovely.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

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

Here is a sketch of a small wooden jewelry box.  My grandfather gave it to me and for that reason I love it a lot.  There isn't any jewelry in it though, I use it to keep tacks for posting sketches in progress to my board.  There's a delicate design on the top and side that didn't quite work out in my sketch.  It's actually birds, but in my sketch it looks more like fish...  Maybe I'll try again some time.  I doubt I'll paint it, I very rarely paint still life art, but I did enjoy sketching it.

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

Here is another sketch of a tadjik markhor goat.  I saw this fellow during a recent visit to the Los Angeles Zoo and I was fascinated by his horns.  I'd like to give them to one of my Gothic maidens, but first I think I'd like to do a study of the animal itself.  This is based on one of the photographs I took while visiting the L.A. Zoo.  I'm going to decide between this one and the other one...  Markhors are listed as endangered due to people hunting them for their horns, I hope their situation improves.
