SHOES...Shoes...shoes... Paintings, #6, #7 and #8

I bought a great book on acrylics and it hopefully seems to be improving my technique.

    I wonder if Winston Churchill ever considered the red high heeled shoe! haha! No, back then they would have never thought of it as a painting subject. Times have changed! These are all pretty--so feminine...well done!

    I LOVE your shoe fetish paintings, John! ... especially the red stilettos at the top of your page. What is your next focus for painting?

    These are awesome John. I'm a little envious about Pat's shoe collection. ;) Your painting skills are getting stronger with each piece!

    Oh, man, John, you are so prolific, I am having a hard time keeping up! But what fun to come here and be met by a whole wardrobe of shoes. I am not a shoe person, but these here (and below) delight my eyes, and that says a lot! Pat must be loving new acrylic pursuits:-)
