Sold - Shoe Lover. Oscar de la Renta Wedding Shoe. Oil on linen 7”x5”

Another addition to the series of shoe paintings, this time it’s a beautiful Oscar de la Renta wedding shoe - Light pink satin shoes with satin bow and crystal detail.
It took me quite a few hours to finish this painting. I have to say that, depending on medium and technique, shoes can be a pretty challenging subject matter to paint and these gorgeous D’Orsay pumps are one of those. the point of focus is certainly the satin bow with rhinestone brooch where the eye lands first and moves up towards the heel, and down to the tip of the heels returning to the satin bow.  I just love these shoes, the color, the shape and how beautifully they translated into this small painting.  I did enjoy painting them and will certainly continue to expand the collection :)
