A painted shoe and the Camoflage of the Peruvian Army?? Copyright 2012 Lorelei Walsh Park
Who knew the two could go together so well! I think anyway. I have a large number of these, different shoes with different camouflage and am hoping to start showing then off again (there are a few already posted in January 2012). This one uses some of the colours used often by German artist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, another artist with whom I became enamoured during my trip to Germany last spring. Schmidt-Rottluff was an artist with versatility with many watercolour works, oil works, pencil and charcoal sketches as well as prints. I own a book of his works ” Karl Schmidt-Rotluff: Eine Monographie by Magdalena M. Moeller, Publikation des Brucke-Museums Belin, 2010″. It is a fabulous book and although written in German, I have been making my way through it! Enjoy, explore the works of Schmidt-Rottluff and keep making art!

Beautiful…I am a shoe freak, love women in heels.
Thank you so much, I actually have received a better reception on these camo shoes from men than from women! I love shoes too but due to a knee injury many moons ago, can no longer wear them 😦 Have a lovely day and thank you for your comment!
You’ll find men are into looking at women’s shoes a lot more than women are into wearing them. U are an extraordinary talent. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I didn’t expect it but you are very accurate. I have showed a number of men these camo shoes ( there are about 18 in total) and the response is always really good. At least now I know where the market is for this stuff (ha!) Thank you for your kind and very generous comments!
Blog reader loves what watercolorist did with Peruvian shoe painting! Margie
Thank Margie! Glad you liked it!
Loralei~ this gives me a sense of heaviness, blocky, as if it could be used as a door stopper ~ its probably the color! Entrapment ~thats how I feel ~Deborah
The colours are heavy and the camo of Peru is as you see it! As you can see and read, I don’t like sticking to the one style or set of colours as I do get bored with it after awhile and have to change things up! I don’t know if Peru conscripts its military but perhaps that may be the trapped feeling you’re getting! Have a lovely afternoon, Lorelei
