I love shoes! Shoes can make you feel a thousand different ways. Though I think mens shoes are kind of an enigma for me. I think it's strange how they can own about three pair and be happy....I don't think they've been exposed to the possibilities of the shoe world.You can tell a lot about a guy by his shoes. You should take some time today and look at the feet of men around you...what are they tellin' ya? My dad used to wear his slippers to take us to school and to the store.I don't think I know what that means, but it's funny in retrospect.So anyway, my painting this week is a little bit of an ode to men.

Summer Time is Here!
Painting these tomatos was fun. I wanted them to look a little more comic book/pop art rather than specifically realistic. I was excited to throw down some bright crayola colored red and green. The black shadow goes against so much of what I was taught, but I really like it.
I might play with it to make it even a little more coloring book, but I may leave it as is. I also revisited the green beans and I feel better about them now. I think they're really done.
Next week I might go all out and try to do some lettuce. It's crisp and fresh and wonderful. But I keep psyching myself out when I look at it. Maybe I'll end up doing something easier instead? Or perhaps a still life of multiple vegetables???
I guess we'll see soon enough!

Stuff
I have a collection of vintage dishes that I think are just fabulous. This is one of the shakers that goes to the set. The dishes come in five different pastel colors and they're are just happy.I love the retro designs and swirls on each piece.If you're going to use salt, why not get it from a neat shaker?
