Still Life - Work Boots

Work Boots 8 in. x 10 in. Oil OnPanel - SOLD

The subject is a pair of my old work boots. I have had different pairs of boots like these constantly since I was probably five years old. Paintings with boots and shoes as the main subject are pretty common historically in art. I think that Wyeth with 'Trodden Weed' or Van Gogh with 'A Pair Of Shoes' probably have done them the best (just my opinion). I've only done them once before in a drawing when I was in art school long ago. This painting actually took me two days to complete, so it is technically not a daily painting, but after finishing this I have to say that I'm really happy with it. I hope that you enjoy it too!

  3. Boots are indispensable to any rider and taking good care of them should come naturally. So make sure you are always in your shining horse riding boots before the show begins which will not only enhance your appearance but also protect your legs from irritation and general discomfort. military boots for desert deployments
