“Going to Town” 12 x 24” Oil on Wood Panel

This pair of old boots has been polished up and is ready for a night out.  Juxtaposing patterns from the past and having fun with the idea of decking ones self out.  I smile at the term “Going to Town”… if you know what it means, can you define it?  Give me a comment as I think this could be fun to explore.  I tried to define what it meant to a group of Columbus Georgia urban teenagers and found it lost hopelessly in translation!  A totally different age group and culture made it nearly impossible for me to convey what it meant without their eyes rolling and snickers.  No wonder we have trouble communicating across the world: Some things do not translate the same in different situations!
