About this artwork

I found my 20 year old pair of old vintage Chuck Taylor All Star Americana Converse Trainers still in their box hiding down the back of my wardrobe and thinking about for something new to paint thought these would make a great series to paint as waves of nostalgia and memories came flooding back. So here it is the first in a new series and first large painting for 2022...what are your thoughts?
