I live in boots, I live Australia and have worn boots all year round even into mid Janurary (summer, we get 38 degrees celsius days) these reminds me of my 'beloved black boots' as my friend put it. Well done!

I miss those boots, I could never replace them. I have New Rocks now, technically better boots, but still...

I have knee high boots, ankle boots, boots with heels, combat boots, lace up boots, all black lol!

Thanks for the feature! why are there big red circles with "X" on them over a number of the pictures there? is that a DA thing? good luck with your contest!

Thanks for the heads up on the big red "x"s...
It's not a DA thing.
I'm pretty sure for a couple reasons...
No one else has mentioned this problem here and with the friends I have,
they would have rushed over right away and said something.
The big red X has never been a DA problem before as far as I know.
And when I, myself was seeing big red "x"s all over things
that should have been coded graphic images,
it was a computer program update problem on MY end.
Thanks for the well wishes
and I hope the problem is something else and not your system.

could be my internet security program, sometimes it's a bit overzealous, but I have never seen that before.

Just say, "YOU'RE not the boss of me!!"
and re.adjust your security to
"medium" instead of "mom".
hahah!

I want to see the glass castings of these boots you mentioned.

lol... they are really heavy and in storage somewhere, but they look like a dirty relief sculpture of the boots that is vaguely transparent. they were cast in a CO2 set sand mold (hence the "dirty" appearance). i never figured out how to present the casting, so they are just siting around in a box.

SELF-portrait? Are you a boot?
Excellent painting! Beautiful detail!

yes. i was investigating the notion that oyu can paint a representational portrait without being completly literal. thanks.

Ha- very true! Love it!

I love this - every crease in those boots, their flopped-over position, makes them sort of sad and soft-looking, something you just know would feel awesome to walk around in.
(They're reminding me of Van Gogh's Shoes... mm.)

Welcome (:. Aw, that's always a shame.

good luck, i have been looking for a replacement for this pair for years! i wore them out so bad i couldn't even get them fixed up.

The painting is ... reality. I love the blue, brown, and colour you've used on the boots to highlight. Wonderful contrast and a sense of I'm going home in these boots with the letter and the wallpaper in the b/g. It's like a note to the family.

This is really great. They have such a sad feeling to it. I like the way the text flattens the space.

i'm rather dumbfounded right now...be back later.

wow... i love this! the background really makes it i think- the old lettering ties in with the old boots. Very impressive!

Wow. Damnit, I don't want to just grovel but I do want to leave a comment and just say that this is the best painting I've seen for a long time.

Damn, but those are some finely painted boots. I'm quite jealous. I know "Advanced Critique is Encouraged" but I just canβt think of anything bad to say about them. Congrats on being added to the UA page.
