Hubby's Favorite Boots
Hello, My husband and I have been married 31 years and the first gift I bought him was a pair of L.L.Bean boots. I asked one of his best friends for advice and he suggested the boots. He loves these boots and calls them his "beaners", they have been re-soled once and they have seen a lot of hunting miles. I painted these for a competition, a show of woman painting men, anything related to men. I thought this seemed like the perfect thing to paint, they sure make me think of my man. I painted this in acrylics on a 16" x 20" stretched canvas and had a ball painting them. I'm pretty pleased with them and they passed the hubby test, lol. Hope you enjoy seeing them. Have a great day and stop back again soon.

I can see why it passed the hubby test. It's beautifully painted!!
Very realistic....
Love these boots and love the story behind them. A great painting!
Thank you so much Hilda. You never know what you might enjoy painting until you give it a go. Heck I think I like most everything, lol
Thanks so much Maria. I sent a note to L.L.Bean to check them out, wonder if I will hear from them?
This came out GREAT Barb! They look "broken-in" and comfy! Nice work, as usual.
Thank you Marilyn, they are broken in and comfy, glad they read that way. Thanks for the share of Facebook too. <3
Barb, this is such a good painting and story! Wonderful!
Great painting! Wins my vote in the competition. Good luck!
Well hi there Susan Carlin, have missed you around here. Big hugs
Thank you so much Jo, great to see you too.
What a nice painting - fun story too! I love the greens and greys on the toe parts. I remember when these boots first came out on the market - or there abouts..time sure flies!
Hi Pattie, Thanks! I tried to make the toes interesting, glad you see all those colors in there.
