"STRAPPY SHOES" 12" X 12" Oil on Canvas

                                                                             
I submitted this painting in the latest DailyPaintworks Challenge. The idea was to choose a color scheme using the Munsell Color Wheel or the standard color wheel. The scheme could be complementary, triadic or split complementary. We were allowed to use only those colors in the chosen scheme and others made from those colors only. We could also use white. I used turquoise, red/purple, orange and white. It always is amazing how many colors you can make from just a few core colors.

  3. Thanks so much, Julie. I bought the shoes at a thrift store just for the purpose of painting them. I guess painters collect things, don't they?
