Boots and Roses

Got a call from the Mayor of Tyler TX and they picked me to come up with a piece of artwork as a gift for (their sister city) the Mayor of San Miguel Mexico. I couldn't think for the life of me what to choose as I didn't have much around the house but I did have a pair of old lesther boots I had done a few years back. So, I decided to add a reddish pink rose as Tyler is well known for their roses. I put the rose in the boot (in colored pencil) and it was quite lovely and made an impact.
She LOVED it and coincidently the boots were Sancho boots made in Spain! How perfect........anyway I got to see the presentation and I was very honored to have my boots in the mayor's house for her to enjoy.
