I've always had a fascination with Cinderella's glass slipper. Can you think of anything more impractical? Cinderella was literally walking on glass. It suggests ideas of fragility and delicacy.

Like many heroine's of classic fairytales, Cinderella is a passive participant in her own story, waiting to be rescued by a fairy godmother and/or a handsome prince. In this painting I wanted the heroine to be in charge of her own destiny and not dependant upon others. So the person helping the princess is herself, shown in a mirror image.

The background was screen printed with acrylic paint and the figures were painted over the top in oil. The painting has been professional framed in raw oak and is ready to hang.
