Outlaw

Cowboy boots must be bought vintage otherwise not at all! This was a pair D picked up at a vintage store. It was in mint condition and the leather was softened in just the right places. I think I captured the colors well including the little gold clips at the toe end of the boot.

Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorite actresses and for that reason I like Natalie Portman from the current generation as she looks so much like her. Picked up this lovely pair from Joe Fresh, one of my favorite clothing stores.

Lace Me Up

I was sitting at the easel contemplating what to paint when my older daughter suggested I paint my shoes since I have so many (!! not!!) so I took her advice and got out the grey pumps. Its a pair I haven't worn yet as I find the heel too high. I absolutely enjoyed painting the shoes....it was a good day....had all the creative juices flowing and got the shadows inside the left shoe right and all the highlights. This has led me to do a whole series called 'In my closet' and soon to follow are some more paintings of my shoes, the girls winter coats, D's  cowboy boots.....and much more.

April

This painting comes framed in a floating frame with the canvas sides wrapped in black felt. Most of my older work is framed in floating frames and they give the painting a wonderful cohesive look. Lately I have been painting on panels / hardboard as I like the stiffness of the board and the smooth surface. 

Enjoyed doing this painting in Dubai and for me it was more about the colors than the detail of the image.
