Government Issue - 6 x 6 - oil on panel
I've used these shoes as the subject in a number of paintings. They're my only dress shoes. I was issued these in 1972 on my first day of basic training, and they've been my wedding, funeral and job interview shoes ever since. You can surmise from this that I'm not a slave to fashion. I love their, "been around the block look", and that tan interior is terrific. If you'd like a painting of my shoes, you can bid on it by clicking here.
Perfect. Love your paintings of shoes Neil.
ReplyDeleteThe best pair of shoes I've seen!! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThis made My husband and I chuckle really good this morning. We have a favorite Andy Griffith episode where Ray Hollister is given some "gob'ment clothes" so he can sing for the society ladies. Your painting reminded us of it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Just like Nigel, I enjoy a lot this subject, and this new painting is simply perfect!
ReplyDeleteClassic painting of some classy shoes. Some things in life simply can not be improved upon.
ReplyDeleteI was issued the same exact shoes in 1969 and still have them and wear them. They don't make them like this any more.
