Kansas Settlers
This oil painting captures a quiet urban moment at the corner of Kansas Street. A sturdy blue U.S. mailbox stands prominently in the foreground, its chipped paint and subtle weathering hinting at years of service. Beneath it lies an unexpected and striking contrast—a pair of elegant red high-heeled dancing shoes with delicate straps, casually tossed as if forgotten after a night of celebration. The shoes’ vibrant color pops against the muted blues and grays of the mailbox and surrounding pavement, telling a silent story of spontaneity and the fleeting moments of city life. The brushwork emphasizes the texture of both the metal mailbox and the soft leather of the shoes, inviting viewers to contemplate the brief intersection of order and whimsy in an everyday street corner scene. What wasn’t she thinking?

"I said ooh ooh
Where'd you get them ruby red shoes
They look like they could take a man
To a place he could use"
