Check Out The Boot!

Follow my progress as I painted a 6' tall boot as part of the celebration of the sesquicentennial of Olathe, Kansas in 2007.

The boot is to honor the history of the Hyer Boot Company which began in Olathe around 1880.

Olathe has also been home to five governors which is the theme of my boot design. I painted portraits within five oval frames around the top and scenes of old Olathe on the lower part of the boot.
