Sketch of a Big Eye Fairy Angel, July 31, Art Sketches Daily...

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She seems very happy and has a bit of a 60s flower child look.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, 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.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in July.  This is day 31.  

This is a rough sketch.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

WIP Lamb Animal Art Original Painting Work in Progress + July Sketches, Sketch 29, Angel...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of a lamb, I've been working on the background.  It has been a while since I've posted a progress view of this little sheep.  I need to work a bit more on the background, especially below the lamb, so that he does not look like he is hovering.  After that he needs a little more shading, I am hoping to have him finished for Tuesday...

I'm debating between "Lost Sheep" and "Found Sheep" for the title, to tie in with a painting I did of Little Bo Peep a while back.  Any opinions?

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.

WIP Angel Fairy Art Original Painting Work in Progress + July Sketches, Sketch 28, Rose...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye maiden painting I've painted her eyes and I've done a few layers on her face.  I still have more layers to go with more shading before I move on to her eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips; but I'm liking the direction she is going in.  This angel fairy is a little 4"x4" acrylic painting. 

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 rose.  My grandmother had a deep love of roses and I think she passed that on to me.  Her garden was full of amazing flowers and I think she would have loved this rosebud.  I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.

My Photograph of Vibrant Flowers at Descanso Gardens + July Sketches Art, Day 27 Sketch, Big Eye Mermaid...

I took this photograph of these flowers at Descanso Gardens.  I'm not sure what kind of flower they are, but I loved that they seemed to have flowers within flowers.  I hope that you will enjoy this photo!

Edit: It looks like this flower is a zinnia, thanks Jennifer!

Original Sunflowers Painting + Art Prints & ACEO Prints! July Sketches...

"Summer Sun" Original 9"x12" Painting on Canvas Here

This week my featured painting is "Summer Sun". The original sunflowers painting is available for purchase on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!  The original has a little texture.  Usually blues, purples, and blacks are my favorite colors, but I find flowers of every hue lovely.  In the summer, I love catching sight of their beauty.  It was painted with oil paints.  The art has a soft realist impressionist feel.

Most of my art is also available on my website at www.lisarusso.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 gothic maidens, you may see them here.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has a 20s feel with her feather hat and short hair; although it's a little long for that time, it's short for one of my maidens...  She seems to have a bit of a concerned look.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, 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.
