Day 11 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

This selection takes me back to my ancestry in Scotland and early American settlers in Maryland.  I would love to own a pair of these shoes for just that reason -- but I'll settle for this painting for now.  Maybe since there is a personal connection to the "tartan" plaid I had little trouble on this one from the start.  I knew I wanted a more even webbed background using two greens, permanent red and quin magenta with the white lines added on top when I put the shoe into the background.  I could rename this for St. Patrick's Day as well.  What do you think?
