Two more paintings #3 and #4

Hi everyone, I posted the above painting for my third one in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. I have a pair of old boots that some little boy or boys wore long ago and I paired  a boot with a sunflower, thinking that maybe a rough little boy picked his Momma a sunflower from the garden. I titled the painting "In From the Garden. I have painted the boots several times and they are just one of my very favorite things. They were a Christmas gift to me one year and the giver paid only 50 cents for them at a yard sale. They are priceless to me. Every nail shows through on the bottom....very well worn, so I think many little boys wore them through the years.

This painting is the fourth and I posted it today in the challenge. I painted it yesterday and was thinking I would do a very delicate painting of a ladies china teacup full of the last of my zinnias. It did not go well. So after many hours, I decided to simplify it and in desperation added a tea bag and soil around the bottom and called it "Tea in the Garden" I thought it quite humorous if nothing else! Hopefully, I will like # 5 better, which I am working on now. It is fun to see all the paintings entered in the challenge and you can do so by going to Google and entering Leslie Saeta blogspot on search. Many artists are putting their work on Leslie's site and it is fun to see all the different paintings.
Back to the easel! Have a happy day!
