I believe the weekend should be about slowing down and smiling more often, if possible. So, in an effort to help this cause, I present today's painting. Look Before Crossing is the latest in a series of more whimsical paintings I have painted. This one combines two of my favorite things to paint, birds (cute ones actually) and items of nostalgia. Have any of you ever owned a pair of Mary Janes or T-bars, as these shoes are apparently called? I am pretty sure I had several pairs when I was a kid and I know I bought a pair or two for my daughter when she was little. I love the RED color of these too..
After painting her and just looking at her for a bit, I thought she looked like she might be readying to cross the road. Hope all turns out well... Enjoy your weekend!

Cute beyond words. I never had a pair, but my best friend did, and at lunch or recess, I would beg her to trade shoes so I could wear them for a while. I had forgotten all about that. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sheila! I am thinking I need to invest in a pair of these shoes now. :)
