Isn't this precious toddler adorable wearing my handpainted shoes like a fashionista. Her mommy worked this outfit to be a perfect pairing. Painting baby shoes make wonderful gifts.

Handpainted Glitter TOMS in Silver with multicolored "Groovy" Theme.  These are mine for the holidays. They sparkle and go with everything.  I didn't think you could paint on these but the TOMS rep said that people do, so I gave it a whirl. I used fabric paint and then sprayed them with a canvas fixative. It all is good. :)

Yes, these were BLACK Converse sneakers!  I just finished painting these for Krazy Larry in NY.  My new best friend!  haha.  I promised him bright colors and these Pollack inspired shoes really do excite your eyes.  The shoes had to be whitewashed all over in order to paint on black but well worth the time involved.  I hope that Larry likes them.  Sent them off to him today. :)

Just fnished painting these red canvas Converse sneakers for Krazy Larry in NY. I love him for being so bold as to give me free reign to paint what I wanted. The only thing that he asked for is that I use bright colors.  The inspiration is Kandinsky and I think he is my favorite artist. Since I came to know of him over 30 years ago, I keep getting inspired by his work.
