Urban Shoes Series

Starting the shoe series again!

Many years ago, I took photos of my friend’s awesome shoe collection. So far, I’ve done a couple of paintings from these photos and I’m getting started again with a new batch. Hoping to have a small art show at a local bar in a few months! Today I busted out this pair of original Nike Air Jordan 5’s. I’ve had this 10x10in linen canvas hidden in storage for over 5 years, and loved the orange background I had painted back then. thought it was a good one to start with. Hoping to have 5-8 pieces on the show, so will post as I have them done.

 

 

Urban Sneaker Project – Start

I’m starting a new series and I’m seriously excited. Had the opportunity to get a hold of some rare kicks and will make a handful of portraits, find a gallery (hopefully) and show them. It’s a good feeling to paint again… It’s been too long. I’m a happy girl!
