About the Image(s)
Toe/ballet shoes have always been one of my favorite choices for subject matter. I photographed this still life at home. In retrospect, I thought it was photographed “too tight,” so a painting rescued the composition and vision that I had intended. I extended the canvas to create a horizontal presentation, and then used one of my backgrounds to replace the original. The background is hand painted, as is every aspect of this image. It was painted entirely in Photoshop, using various mixer brushes. I loved the “reflection” itself in the mirror. I did decide, however, to eliminate the shadows of the perfume bottle and slippers that the studio lighting created.
