With all my smaller shoe paintings I've done recently of course I couldn't resist the temptation of painting a larger one as well. You cannot see it on the pictures, but the smaller ones are about life size, so this one is larger than life.

There's something funny about painting things larger than life, it makes the object looking kind of weird, but then again it doesn't. I for one defenitely like it! The painting can be seen at the Affordable Art Fair Amsterdam which opens tomorrow.

I'm loving the shape of this black open toe high heel by Jimmy Choo! This painting and my other shoe paintings can be seen at the Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam.

The fair doesn't open untill this thursday 28 oct, but today Petra of Amstel Gallery already decorated the stand for tomorrows invitation only preview. She was kind enough to email this pic below showing the booth. Looks great, doesn't it? Next to my shoes you can see my painting Art Business which I completed earlier this year.

It's international artist day! Not sure what festivities there are or even what it exactly means, but I thought we celebrate it with some nice red heels by Jimmy Choo!

My second Manolo Blahnik shoe, a nice blue high heel. I'm loving the contrast between blue and the yellow background, it really makes the shoe pop out!

After all the shoes by Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo I thought it was about time to try my hand at some new brand. At the same time I thought what the heck, let me try a different color as well. So here it is my silver Manolo Blahnik!

I thought I tried out a different colorscheme this time. I'm loving the brownish background with another shade of brown for the shoe itself. Works quite well, of course this is also due to the shape of the lovely 6" heel by Louboutin.

Here we go, a nice view from the back of a high heel by Christian Louboutin. In real life the yellow is more penetrating, sometimes I cannot get the colors right on the pic I'm afraid. Anyway, I love this view, you can still see it's a high heel, but it's so oddly shaped from this point of view.

Well I might have said last week that the bands on JC 005 were tricky, try todays painting! But as a painter the more challenge I'm facing, the more I'm dedicated to bring it to a good end and I think I've done just that today.

I'm having so much fun painting the shoes, I cannot believe I haven't done this a long time ago! Today I got a black Jimmy Choo shoe for you. The bands were kind of tricky to paint, because of all the subtile corners and reflections.

Tonight opens the groupshow Skrift at Omrop Fryslan at 17.00 pm. Looking forward to it!

Like yesterday another red shoe, but as yesterdays shoe was a dark red, this one by Jimmy Choo is a nice bright red and somehow a bit more agressive shaped. Can you see the woman wearing it to a special occasion?

I finished the larger sized painting I was talking about last week. I cannot show it yet as I want my models to be first to see it, but it turned out to be a real beauty.

This friday at 17.00 hours the groupshow 'Skrift' will open at broadcaster Omrop Fryslan in my hometown Leeuwarden. Curator and former hostess Aly van der Mark picked out artworks which are related to writing. I show 8 pieces, including my largest painting up to now: The Thinker. It would be my pleasure to welcome you as my guest!
