Hello :) This little guy is the latest in my Snail painting installment. I started painting snails with alternative shells in the beginning of 2021. There are reasons, but the primary one is that it is a lot of fun coming up with ideas for what could possibly work on the back of a snail body :) I've put books, a strawberry, TV, teacup, teapot, fishbowl, mushrooms, a bonzai tree and more.. Can't say why these things work for me, but they do, and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback (plus many sales!). I don't think I'll end this series anytime soon as I keep getting new ideas for things that would look good on a snail. Two more ideas are already in the works for this 30 in 30.
Converse sneakers are a common motif that pops up in my paintings, so it seemed a good idea to try one in this series too. I think it works just fine, but when I was designing this one, it just felt like I needed to have some flowers popping out of the sneaker, so, I did. Also, Ms. Ladybug always makes her way into my snail paintings too.. I guess they are friends <3
