20th Street Art Gallery Oct Show


Artist: Eileen Downes
Title: Plum Colored Pumps
Medium: Collage
Size: 24" x 18"
Available at 20th Street Art Gallery (see below)

This collage painting is one out of the series of 15 new works from the Stepping-Up Series. The shoe model for most of these images was a lady from my church who absolutely Love's shoes!!!! (She has great legs and ankles too) She came to my studio one afternoon with a carload of shoes, and I took many positioning photos from which to work. My studio is equipped with a black backdrop drape and spot-lights, so I could determine positioning for interesting shadows.
