This is a 9″x12″ (2″ deep) mixed media painting on wood.
I painted this same image last year, an ACEO. It may have been the first ACEO I did. A couple of weeks ago I was going through my images, looking for inspiration, and I came across this photo again. It was taken when Imogen was almost three, I was pregnant for Scarlett. I think I asked her how big she was and she stood as tall as she could and stretched out her little neck. At three, it was really important to be ‘this big’. Come to think about it, I guess it is still important at six. Imogen had a big cry the other day because I made her get the size 13 shoes instead of the (big girl) size ones. Let me tell you, the 13s were even a little on the big side but she cried and cried and said ‘I am just a baby!’. It was hard not to laugh, if she could only realized that in a few years she will be wishing her feet were smaller so she could fit in all those fabulous size six shoes on the sales rack!

Last night we took our 5 year old to The Wizard of OZ. It was a huge production made even larger by the fact that we were in the second row.
I have always loved Dorothy’s ruby slippers, I definitely have a thing for red shoes. (Well, shoes in general, to be honest.) Last night I wore my three inch, T-strap, Kate Spades. They have tiny coral details that I just love. Imogen, who also loves a nice shoe, wore her gold ballerina flats.
I wish people dressed up more to go to the theater. I mean, if we no longer dress up to go to the theater, then when DO we dress up?
This is a little painting I did of one of Scarlett’s favorite shoes (Kenneth Cole). It is mixed media on paper and is 8.5″x11.5″.
