Chuck Taylors

What did you call them? Chucks? Chuck Taylor's? Tennis Shoes? Converse? Cons? Talk about staying power! They seem to cross generations. This pair belongs to my son in law and they were originally black. I ended up painting another pair just for him. This is watercolor using MaimeriBlu paints with a very limited palette.  

Hot Flops

Was their ever a time when flip flops didn't exist? I can remember when they were less than a dollar! Opps! Did I give away something? I can remember when no one wore them in the winter, they all use to  be some bright color, and they didn't go with everything. This painting is a watercolor and I used warm colors glazed with cool colors for the shadows. I think they look hot to the touch!
