Sock vs Boot 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 limited to what I was able to do with my own feet and still be able to photograph. 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 chose the vivid colors of the the socks and pants to counterbalance the darkness of the blue in the boot and to also give a color-pop to the overall painting. The use of the geometrical tile floor may seem overwhelming when on its own, but it points the way to the feet. 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.
