Keep It Simple

The Barefoot Contessa

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective. This is my friend Kitty. She was seated in dappled sunlight sketching and I just had to paint her. It was the sunlight on her toes that caught my eye. Something about it just seemed so right, so comfortable, so “summer”. Of course, the shape of her hat and the shape of the chair were super, but still, I’ll admit that it was the toes that I wanted to paint. The only colors I used were blue and yellow plus white and a touch of red for the fleshtones.

Wishing you all a happy barefooted summer!
