My aim with this week’s challenge was to create something fun. While the final product looks fun, the process was not! Haha! 90% of the time I spent on this piece was spent trying to draw the shoe on the right. I could NOT get it. While it looked like a shoe right away, I could not get the front of it right…especially the toe. Way too deep to explain, but suffice to say, it gave me a run for my money. The reason being, I purposely did not photograph my shoes because I wanted to work from life this week in order to exercise my drawing skills since drawing from life is much more challenging than working from a photo. I never did nail it or figure out what the issue was, but I got it ‘close enough’. I drew the shoe on the left one, two, three and painting it was fun and easy; so, as they say, “All’s well that ends well”.
I bought these shoes a few years ago, but pulled them out to wear for Easter and fell in love with them all over again. Smile. Yes, they’re high, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do! Funny side note: They’re so high that my dad has to raise my crutches for me each time I wear them. Haha!

I love that your dad has to raise your crutches when you wear these! Just another way to exercise your creativity through fashion!

We’re still praying that one day you’ll be able to DANCE in those shoes and crutches (raised or not) won’t be needed. Love you!

Loving those shoes! Reminds me of the spiritual connotation of high heels – authority, elevation, and promotion. May they be yours in abundance!
