Saw her sketches of shoes in "This disordered life" blog and it reminded me of my piece from watercolor class 1999. I used flipflops and a well worn sandal of mine. We had to concentrate on shading and picking up color from a piece of still life. I found water color to be hard and unforgiving. Yet I always loved this piece of reflected orange on the wall.

hi joy, this piece is lovely... the reflection of the orange strap is my favorite part. or maybe it's the heel of the other sandal... hard to decide. : )
You may have found watercolors difficult to deal with, but you sure did a great job with this!
thank you for the inspiration, I have to try this ;-)
Gentle and peaceful...kind of like melting into summer. I love the subtle background which reminds me of a concrete or plaster wall. Perhaps in Greece or some other exotic locale?
I love this one, Joy. It's very "abstracty" too which makes it even more interesting. Nice work!
Yes the orange is brilliant.
I love how this turned out. Some of my favorite colors too.
I love this piece...good composition too. You should do more watercolors.
