My favourite subjects for an evening sketch after working (and struggling to think of something to draw) are fruit, something from the pantry or shoes. I’ve no doubt sketched this pair of shoes before. They are rather tired old Hush Puppies – the rubber sole fell apart a while back (rubber just disintegrates in this humid climate, after a while), but a handy guy at the market stitched a brand new sole onto them.
