When I cleaned out my studio just prior to the holidays, I rediscovered a stash of leather and suede men's vests which I had purchased years ago intending to decorate them.
Rather than donate the vests to the Salvation Army, I decided to paint at least a few. I have done five of them in a Renaissance Faire theme, with Knights and Ladies and Dragons and Kings. I have twenty vests in all, and will slowly paint them in between other projects.
On this particular vest, a brave Knight leads a captured, but still fierce Dragon by a chain leash. The Dragon's collar declares him "Owned" and he holds a crystal ball with the Knight's castle seen through a mystical mist.
Men's size Medium, acrylic paint on deep teal green suede. $50.-
