When I made this painting I considered it mediocre.
I hung it in a trendy ladies boutique where it received almost iconic status. The feedback from customers who visited the shop was incredible. It captured the imaginations of many well heeled ladies & became a conversation piece amongst them.
Sometimes we artists are so close to our own work that we fail to see what others see. On occasion our opinion about the art we produce may not coincide with the general consensus.
When art is put into the public domain it occasionally acquires a new guise or a life of its own.
Due to the overwhelming response to ‘Exotic Pink Shoes’ I decided to get postcards made. Everyone who leaves a comment on this post will receive a postcard.
Enjoy.
wonderful painting:) I'd love a pair of those shoes to wear:)

I know what you mean about being too close to our work. some of my work I think not so good sells quicker than pieces I adore. Your pink shoes look pretty perfect to me and I cant wait to receive my postcard!!
