The Poetry of The Mundane

An homage to Vincent Van Goghs "Pair of Leather Clogs".These are my husbands very,very well worn work shoes.For Madhatters -art theme and my mundane object month. I used an iPad program called Brushstroke to ETSOOI this.
"In Paris, Van Gogh had painted several pictures of workman’s boots. In Arles he painted this pair of leather clogs...... clogs symbolized the poetry of peasant life."
