Pictured here is a pair of Vans I am painting for my Daughter.  She asked me to paint a pair of high school Vans with the fronts being a favorite drawing she found that I drew in high school (Shes in high school now!!) These are from my swallow series and will have all sides painted when done. 
Here is the drawing from my school notebook.

Here is another pair of Vans I'm working on.  My daughter is absolutely one of my best friends so I want them to be very special! She came up with the front panel idea right away, as she has always loved this drawing.  The sides are taking a little longer to define since she is such a complex young lady!  She's a cheerleader, she's had a menagerie of animals, loves lp records and Marilyn Monroe  and oh so much more... what to choose!  I will update the post with new pictures as we complete the sides. Thanks!

darknesswithin writes: Hello Danyelle, Your designs are beautiful. I am currently doing a project about hand painted shoes and was wondering if you would be able to answer a few questions for me. What do you use to paint your shoes? How long does it usually take you to complete a pair of shoes? How well does the design stay on the shoes? How long does a pack of whatever kind of paint you use last?
It would really help me if you could answer these questions.

Thanks.

dany4bec writes: Gosh, Thank you so much! RachelPhilips you are so intuitive, my daughter and I are very close, (in age as well as affection)and we have been through a lot together. I am so proud of her. She is getting older now and I feel the child slowly making way for the woman in her. I think there is a bit of that reflected in these shoe as well...

RachelPhilips writes: Great use of color and placement. I see the rose is a new addition to the sketch? It really adds a lot to the composition and balances the bird nicely. I love seeing the fine arts & crafty commingling and the inter generational sharing is so powerful.

As I read the piece, your daughter reaches back and touches the girl you were by reviving this piece from your past and offers the gift of the rose (herself) to you, as you care for her soul (s) through that essential but often taken for granted - Mama love gift - New Shoes!
You are one lovin and talented lady. You daughter is a lucky gal to get to sport your artwork. I hope you put a crystal clear spray or a "finish" the surface in some way to seal and preserve it as long as possible.
