old shoes by John Taphouse

They sure look like they are getting or possibly even got passed their best John, lovely watercolour painting like a still life really with the polish and brush and all on the newspaper, love the title of that newspaper as well 'The Daily Tale', gorgeous rendering of the shoes as well

Interesting topic for a Still Life but throw away The Telegraph and get The Guardian instead. By the way, when I commented on your other still life I didn't realise it was watercolour -now I'm even more impressed.
