Ruthie Lowen keeps going through my closet and painting stuff. Last time it was my 35 year old boots, this time my flea market necklace. My cheap tourist trade jewelry never looked this good in real life.

Ruthie Lowen’s Lucchese Boots & Chimayo Blanket

Karen’s boots painted by Ruthie Lowen. Ruthie can be reached at 719-964-4181 if you want your boots painted.

Thrilled to be working with Ruthie Lowen again. She’s painted my 40 year old Lucchese boots and the Chimayo blanket my FIL found in an old cabin outside of Nambe, New Mexico. He was a gunsmith for the Pueblo of Pojoaque and was out hiking and hunting in the back country.

The boots came from the Santa Fe Flea market when I was selling my art there in the ’70’s. They’ve never looked so good.
