Becca's Feet Painting

This piece is based on a series of feet paintings I have been working on since relocating to Cape Breton. The pose of the feet is courtesy of my young cousin. She is old enough to dress herself and wears what she wants. I feel that this painting is a portraiture, of feet - yes, but also can be an identification of someone you know well. Many of us are able to identify a gait, and many are able to identify the shoes or socks of the person behind that gait. I loved the vivid colors of the the Becca's boots, her matching pink tights, and that bare foot with blue toenail polish. A fashionista in the making. The use of the hardwood floor may seem grounds this piece, making it possible that this girl can be found in any of our homes. I regularly paint in oil paints on wood. I like the way the oil paints are absorbed on the wood. I also like the smoother surface when painting on wood although there are areas of heavier applied paint. The sides of the painting are finished in a neutral grey acrylic paint with absorbed into the wood and was left matte. The painting is varnished in a matte finish.
