I'd like to share with you a painting I did for our mini series on shoes. There are dizzying array of shoe choices on websites such as Zappos. But why not purchase a pair or two of designer shoes from Canvas by Canvas to display in the powder room or bedroom of your home? Your feet will love you and you'll get a real "kick" out of seeing these elegant orange and gold brocade Dolce and Gabana shoes every day. These shoes are painted on gallery wrapped canvas and can be hung individually, or can be arranged in one of our custom made frames.

One of the joys of being a Canvas by Canvas painter is that, feeding off each other's enthusiasm, we all become more productive and better painters. In a recent newsletter by Robert Genn, the Painter's Keys, he talks about the benefits of a buddy system of painting and mentions these pointers for getting along.

1. Don't comment unless asked.
2. Give the gift of joyous approval.
3. Accept all comers for what they wish to become.
4. Understand and grant other styles and approaches.
5. Feature others rather than yourself.
6. Bask in the sunshine of others' success.
7. Treasure the miracle of friendship.

These are great tips for ANY social endeavor and with 11 members, Canvas by Canvas thinks they are especially valuable as we pursue our collaborative painting experiment.

Mother Hubbard Never Had a Shoe Like This

Poor Mother Hubbard had to wear all those old clunky shoes because she had so many children. You can go to Canvas by Canvas and buy this cool shoe painting as a reminder of how lucky you are not to have to keep your children in your shoes!!! It is on sale for $40 including shipping.

My husband and I just got back from a Baltic Cruise on the Holland America Line "Veendam",. It was a wonderful trip that started and ended in Copenhagen, Denmark. We were walking one day near the popular Nyhavn Canal in Copenhagen and passed a shoe store. This shoe was sitting in the window and I just had to photograph and paint it...hope you like it...Maryann Stephens
