Happy Juneteenth! Original Big Eye Black Garden Guardian Angel Fairy Fantasy Lowbrow Surreal Painting!

 

Happy Juneteenth from this big eye garden guardian and from me at lisabellarusso.com!

This is "Orchid Intrigue," an original big eye black garden guardian painting.  I painted it for Diversity and Inclusion: The Influence of African-American Art in Southern California at the Ontario Museum of Art Exhibit.  She has a blue hued orchid upon her head.  In some traditional African American gardens, blue bottles are hung as blue is considered a protective color.  She shares the depth of her emotions through her big luminous eyes.  This original painting is available as are art prints and LE ACEO prints, however I have yet to remove her from her frame add her to my website, but you may contact me if you're interested in her.  The art has a painterly lowbrow avant garde surreal feel.

Juneteenth just became a legal holiday this very year.  It is a celebration of the end of slavery in Texas and in favor of freedom throughout the land.  In my art, I strive to celebrate what is beautiful.  Freedom is so beautiful, I hope your day is amazing...

http://lisarusso.com/fantasyart/fantasy.htm

It's the very tail end of Black History Month, but I'd still like to share this lovely maiden with you.  I painted her for the Diversity and Inclusion: The Influence of African-American Art in Southern California at the Ontario Museum of Art Exhibit.  When I did a little research, I found that it was traditional in Black History to put blue bottles in the garden to protect it.  I decided I wanted to paint one of my garden guardians for the show with a blue orchid as a connection to the protection of the blue bottles.

I haven't added her to my website yet, but when I do I will share the link.

"Sunlight Sunbright" is based on a flower that that was grown by mother's students.  It was a huge sunflower and I decided to paint it large as well!  For summer and Fourth of July, I think of sunflowers and gathering with friends and family.  This year will be a bit different as I believe in caution first, but the beauty of flowers remains to fill my heart.  I hope you will enjoy this painting.  The art has a painterly realist impressionist feel.
