Shoes and Such...

…wow. Been working off and on all day and I am finally calling it a night.  Just about done with a figurative piece I started last night, with fourteen shoe paintings and started some small paintings for a friend.  I made the pilgrimage to Michaels and found some great 4x4 inch canvases, I live way too close to Michaels, this could get ugly!  Already found a purpose for four of the nine canvases…they are in the process of becoming mini-shoe paintings for a special little girl in Japan, the daughter of our friend who is stationed over there.  I didn’t start the collage elements to the piece that I started last night…gotta think about that a little more.  I did purchase some black metallic embroidery floss, I thought it would look cool to add that to the hair, add a little dimension to the piece.  

And I must admit, it was fun taking a break to work on the shoes, much more light hearted than the trees or working with faces.  Tomorrow I hope to get all of these pieces finished and look to the next project…whatever that may be…
