New Series In Progress: Step Forward

This series of paintings, still in progress, has become for me an
ongoing exploration of women’s high heeled shoes.
All of the shoes pictured here were found at a variety of
Goodwill and other thrift stores in my area.
Shoes of this type can represent different things to different people.
Wearing them is certainly a matter of choice.  
Some words that come to my mind are:
     Power       Joy            Confidence       
     Pleasure     Pain    Feminism, and/or its opposite 
          … and there are likely a lot more

Mostly, what they can't be describes as is “practical”.
The fact that they have all been discarded
may mean something as well.
And now, they have been memorialized.
What do they represent to you?
