I love converse :) Since I quit my job- it's practically the only shoe I wear.  I haven't put on any of my business clothes .. shoes.. in months, and I don't miss them.  Anytime I see a shoe in a painting- I think about where it's been and where it's going.  I think I might do a few more still life for the show- to mix up the subway NYC paintings.  Any objects that inspire you? 8X8 oil on wood. Information about the show: The Big 100 is 100 artists doing 15 paintings each all for the set price of $50.  Cash and Carry Show. December 3-4th 5-10 pm at the  Goodfoot ....
More paintings for the big 100 . Since I am totally addicted to coffee and since I pretty much only wear converse. ...
This weekend has been a very busy weekend for me! Lots of painting and being creative. My homework for class this week was to paint a shoe. I decided to paint my favorite shoe- my black converse hanging over a chair in my kitchen. We could use whatever color palette we wanted but had to paint a shoe. I have been wearing converses since high school- which basically means FOREVER! So I knew instantly I had to paint my beloved converse. I used oil paint on wood with a number 4 Filbert brush. I am still working on my cupcake painting for the love show and I hoping and praying that it's all done by this next week. I am probably am about 65-70% done but I really need to get focused and be productive. I always seem to reach a point in a painting that I get caught up in all the details when instead I need to just move forward... and that's were I am at with my cupcake painting. Everyone have a great creative week. Can you believe it's already February!...
