"For your digital gallery, I am sending this painting by Wayne Thiebaud. I saw it in person several years ago at the De Young when they had a Thiebaud exhibit. I can’t explain it, but I felt this incredible emotional pull when I saw it, deep in my gut. I’ve never had that deep of a visceral reaction to a work of art before. I love Wayne Thiebaud’s style (this photo doesn’t do the many colors in the piece justice) and perhaps the shoes also reminded me of my father, who always wore shoes like this? I don’t know, but I’ll never forget that experience. And I wanted to own that painting soooo much!☺"
