My Addictions

                                        My Addictions      Oil on Canvas     8" X 8"

I submitted this painting in this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge to paint your shoes. This is how my shoes look after about six months of wearing them.  I get a new pair about every six monhs. I've been wearing this brand of shoe almost every day since 1992. I am definitely addicted to them.

I tried to focus on the gestures of the shoelaces and the worn down shoes themselves. For
the shoes, I focused on shapes. For the shoelaces, I indulged in some calligraphy.
