Still life ~Story of The Bronze Shoes

`Hello there, You do wonder about the story behind these and who's little feet they were on. I worked on this a few different times and I think it's finished, might go over the background again to create a definite background and foreground. I just love little shoes and have painted different ones several times. I found this little pair of bronze baby shoes at a antique store and fell in love with them. Tricky painting bronze, hoping this feels like bronze. Trying to reproduce what I was seeing with color and value and placing the highlights in the right place. This is acrylic on a 8" X 10" Raymar panel. What is it about tiny things that make them so dang cute? lol Enter your email address in my Google Group box to receive my posts.

They definitely read a bronze! I have a pair that were my mother's or uncle's. Haven't dared to paint them yet. Love yours. Fantastic work.
