| Victorian Shoes by Anthony Morrow |
These two shoes were small collectable ceramic shoes I had seen in a retail shop. The miniaturization and material combination called out to be painted. I set these two up pretty loosely and began a sketch than created the final piece in Painter. Target picked them up for a while as framed prints as did Sunrise for greeting cards. They ended up published in Communication Arts Illustration Annual for a best of digital painting. And it all started by seeing an object that sparked something special in me that I could not even identify and following through with it. How many times I have done just the opposite and rushed by with daily chores and tasks at hand.
I will take head and slow down and listen to myself more. For any body reading the post try doing the same. When something sparks in you no matter how silly. Stop, listen to yourself and follow through. No matter how ridiculous or futile it would seem at the moment. And remember don't set your sights too high they are unachievable, and don't be afraid to make a mess. I have learned much more from my mistakes than success'.
