This is a small 10" x 8" acrylic painting of my now 16 year old son's first pair of shoes. I found them while doing a clear out at the weekend and decided to paint them before I throw them out. Now they're immortalised forever! I called it '3..2..1...TAKE OFF' as a reference to the little embroidered space rocket on the fronts of them and the implication of my son's first 'take off' in his new shoes. I must try to find my daughter's first shoes and paint them too. I enjoyed painting these so much that I may paint a whole series of baby's shoes...watch this space! 3..2..1...Take Off! by Ruth Kelly
A heterogeneous conglomeration of my avocation, haha! .....or in other words, a hodge-podge of my hobbies and interests. Art, Painting, Writing and Reading.
