RED SHOE COLLECTION

Well, it's done ... and it's been a long hard slog!

My first painting of 3 pairs of (grown up) shoes - red shoes and leopard print have always been big favourites ... in fact are the biggest selling cards I have, so hopefully this will go down well.

No name yet for this one ... or a frame ... but will keep you posted.

THE HOLLY & THE IVY - PROGRESS OF A PAINTING

Well, we did it for Mistletoes ... here's how The Holly & the Ivy came to be ....

Initial drawing ... note lack of leafs ... felt I had to get the shoes right before draping & taping the greenery.

... and now some holly & ivy ....

Now some red and a bit of ochrey gold for the inner.

Bit of depth and drama.

Better get a hint of leafs in here before I get carried away with yet more red!

Get the pen out! Looking a bit bare so went back into painting a bit more here.

And finally ... sit staring at it on the easel for a few days before deciding 'yep, that's it'


This painting is now framed and on sale (and also been made into cards, tags & prints!) - CLICK HERE

DEVIL'S DESIRE - NEW IRREGULAR CHOICE PAINTING

Have gone back to painting my some of  my IC shoe collection - these are called Devil's Desire and are just screaming to be painted!

I did actually buy them to wear but haven't had the opportunity as yet ... but here they are, preserved in watercolour and ink for eternity ... am liking it but possibly a bit off course for the mainstream customer.
