| "Cinderella, I Presume?" (Watercolor) C. Eastwood, © 2013 |
Time to revisit the shoes. The last time we painted these, I ended up with a painting called "Every Girl's Dream" which won a Watercolor Purchase Award last spring at the Santa Ana College Art Show. I didn't want to duplicate that by painting the same thing, so I took a small section of the shoes and turned it into a vertical study, instead. It's interesting to see how the same subject ends up looking the same and yet so different, even when done in the same medium. I guess that's part of what fascinates me about art. It's always a new discovery.
And as for the name? Not sure where that came from other than as I was working on it, the painting seemed to name itself. I figure Cinderella ended up wtih a fascination for shoes. A girl can't go around wearing glass slippers all the time, can she?
