I started with a lovely pair of vintage black leather classic Tony Lama boots. A pair of great boots commands respect, so I approached painting them gradually, organically and in small steps. I bought these from a woman who had worn them with love and grace for many years, and wished to pass them along to be made over into their second life. To get the rich red took me several coats of layered colors. Bold flames were a logical next step. Inspired by the gorgeous colors of Southwestern jewelry, the turquoise accents jump out from the red-coral background.

But how to make them special? I thought about it for a few days after choosing the colors, looking at them here on my painting desk. Hmmm...finally it dawned on me that the boots were crying out for some Native American petroglyphs. So I painted a labyrinth and a person, both with red hearts, to symbolize our constant search for the center. Perhaps these fine boots will help you dance the two-step along that journey.

Womens size 8 boots, heel just shy of 2 inches, height to the top of the shaft is 12.5 inches. Great condition, they only look worn on the bottom of the sole.

Hand painted by me with professional leather paints and sealed for permanence. Should be fine for normal wear, long nights of dancing, cross-country motorcycle trips, and Las Vegas weddings. As always each pair of Wingtips is completely unique, and a piece of wearable art.

Wear them with anything! Short skirts! cut-offs! skinny jeans tucked in! boot-cut jeans will hide the painting but that just gives you another option! motorcycle jackets! knee socks! Have fun, cowgirl boots are an essential addition to almost any wardrobe.
