Jan Makower

Very effective work Jan, you certainly have an excellent touch with pastels and the tones and shadows in this work are really good, background is really effective as well

A lovely, subtle and understated painting - they really have a tale to tell.

Wow ! I thought this was an oil ! Brilliant

Isn't it funny how the most unusual subjects often make the most interesting paintings? Lovely use of soft colour - very attractive work.

Beautiful painting of a scruffy subject. I like boots, they have a tale to tell.

Wonderful palette in this very relaxed painting. Lovely

Lovely painting! I like the touches of red and yellow ochre, but nothing is overdone, and the boots swim in light - nice.

Lovely painting. I have taken a couple of photos of my husbands boots and seeing your picture has reminded me, and after I have finished my present painting I will certainly get on with the boots. Thanks for the reminder and the inspiration to try giving a better background. Love the painting

Great!

Great subject.. love it!!
