#219 High Heels with Bows 10/8/19

We've been binge watching a British baking show, a competition of sorts.  Dave turns it on each evening and I get sucked into the drama of their predicament of baking spotted dicks or some other strange name for a pastry (spotted dick is the only one of the myriad of unrecognizable British terminology for baked goods that I have committed to memory, since I thought it might come in handy to throw out in random conversation with friends, ie "What is that you're eating, some sort of spotted dick?")  As a result, I've been getting to my painting right about the time I should be getting to my PJ's.  I tell myself that without an unlimited evening, I will work to "get it done quick" and it will turn out better than my "belabored, over-blended" paintings.  So this one is "under an hour" and while not as cool looking as the toe shoes, or as wow-ish as the red heels, it turned out acceptable.  The bows were a bitch, though.  I've been using my color wheel to assist with color selection.  I wanted the purple background, so I chose analogous colors for the rest of the painting (orange, red and yellow).  The wheel has been helpful. Tomorrow, it will be sneakers with laces, laces in hopefully less than an hour!  So, I'll be having another crack at the trainers and will hopefully be chuffed about it!  (FYI, I had to use google to write that last sentence.)
