Stampede Boots


Stampede Boots
9x12"
Acrylic on Board
Painting #37 - I thought it was time to paint my cowboy boots. They were custom made for me so they may look a bit different from what you would normally see in the stores. They were quite easy to paint, however, I struggled with decisions about the background. I decided to paint swirls and floating shapes to bring a rhythm to the painting, which I hopes captures what these boots do during the Calgary Stampede - they dance.
