Day 17 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

​This is a painting I started about a month ago.  There was light coming from two sources and I had to decide which source I was going to use to finish the painting.  The aquabord surface often takes the paint differently when adding layers of watercolor washes.  I did quite a few before I could get the floor dark enough to make the shoes shine.  I might still have some tweaking to do in the shoes themselves but am happy with the floor and background.  We will see what my critique group has to say tomorrow.  I really do appreciate Lindsey Curry sharing this photo of her daughter's toe shoes for me to paint.  She owns a Footnotes dance studio in Ceres CA.  We have become friends through Visi and she also is a very good photographer..

I can either put it behind glass if it is going to an exhibition or will seal it so it can be framed without glass.
