Finished lily pond shoes

I finished the lily pond painted shoes I've been working on, you can see how they started and the reference photos from Singapore I used here.

 I was asked to include some tiny Singaporean frogs, so I investigated and found this site, and I thought the tiny Spotted Tree Frog was a lovely shape and vibrant colour. So I painted a few of them perched on lily pads.

I'm really pleased with these, the effect is great. They were quite a challenge to paint in this hot weather with my paints drying out so quickly, but they've come up really well with shimmery greens and golds. A good note to end 2011 on. :)
