I hope you remember Dorothy from the Wizard Of Oz, these are the grown up version of her shoes she clicked three times to take her home.  And really home is where you want to be right now keeping yourself and others safe from this virus if you aren't on the front line.  A BIG thank you to all of you who are frontline fighters and essential workers!

This is my second painting of these red shoes, I love them both but this is a more accurate drawing than the first.  Just like they say, the more you draw something the better it gets.  Being away from painting for so long (7 months) I needed something to jump-start painting and inspire me.  Black gesso was that inspiration, this is my third painting on black gesso and I'm having a great time.  The photos below show you a little of the process; using the green outline was chosen due to being a complimentary color of the red shoes and leaving bits showing through would be interesting.  You can see the panel holder I use for these small paintings, it helps to steady them on an easel.
