Paintings 3 and 4 of my contribution for the Village Gallery Art Challenge which opens on Mary 5th at 10:00 am.  The one on the right is entitled "Blue Vipor."  I wanted to find a snake with yellow and blue and found the Blue Vipor which can be found in India.  Real snakeskin shoes have always been a luxury and now you can own one without any harm to the reptile and at a bargain price.

Painting 4 is based on a pump which was created from a watercolor.  I entitled it "Watercolor Bliss."  Obviously the background is very typical of a painting with watercolor so I wanted the shoe to be different in texture and color.  

Both paintings are 6x6 on ClayBord mounted on a 6x6 canvas cradle and sealed.  I like the backgrounds just the way I originally sprayed them.
