I am really enjoying painting this.  It is so different from my usual subject of flora. I have added the shoe made of snake skin and the patent leather shoes. There is a great challenge to come as on of the shoes on the top shelf has that 'metallic' colour. I don't know if I can render this effect with normal watercolour paints, but I shall not give up trying! One other thing that I need to keep in mind is that, as I paint from right to left, the shoes will present a slightly different profile, that is, more of the left side of the shoe on the right and more of the right hand side of the shoe on the left.
