Old Shoes Never Bite

'Old Shoes Never Bite' is a warm watercolour study of a pair of worn leather shoes, symbolising familiarity and trust.

Drawing on the old adage, the painting reflects ideas of gratitude and loyalty. A reminder not to forget the people or things that once supported us, even as new paths open up.

Through soft tones and gentle detail, Vinay Jalla celebrates what is dependable and unpretentious: what we know well, and what will never turn on us.
