Mr. Hamlin's Happyfeet

[Triumph]

Hi All! I had to share this this. It was the most joyful to paint because the "feet" are actual clown shoes, handmade by a friend-a very talented watercolorist himself! The pics I used as reference were on a clown-shoe manufacturer's website ( He worked for them making the shoes). My job was to take the shoes (placed on a shelf for display) and draw them as if Real Clown Feet were in them! I added the Emergency Clown Nose adding even more high-color value funnies. Enjoy.

CaliAnn,QueenBee,Laika,Schuee--Thanks for your acknowledgements on this. I first thought it was kinda goofy for a respectable watercolor subject, but I love those shoes and the talent that made them!
