Painted Shoes! WOYWW#15

Dear Readers,
Happy Wednesday!  Thanks to all of your wonderfully supportive comments, and my amazing family, I have bounced back from art show rejection and I am furiously painting on! My current project is painting shoes!  My sister sent me a pair of Toms she had bought with the request that I paint constellations on it.  I had never done anything like this before, but after watching a few youtube tutorials (there is so much stuff on there!) I was game.  I loved the results. And after seeing the prices of some of the painted Toms on Etsy, maybe I should consider it as a side business! What do you think? (P.s., the shoes aren't finished in these pictures, I want my sister to see them first.  I'll post finished pictures next week)

Hurricane Housebound, Day 2

Dear Readers,
Well, Hurricane Sandy was a rough one- my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who was affected by the storm.  Where I was was not hit very hard- power lines down and some flooded cars.  We were able to go out in the afternoon today- and back to work tomorrow!  So before I head off to the real world tomorrow, I thought I would leave you with a few works in progress.

These first two are hand-painted cards that I hope to sell soon.

This is a work in progress- a canvas using acrylic- I am so excited to see it finished!

Hope everyone is well and safe tonight.
