Bill Heydt, a noted watercolorist HATED the paints - they are gluey and thick, unlike the quick flow of watercolor that characterize his portraits and street scenes. WIth his talents he was able to work through the medium and create a tiger hiding in a jungle. After seeing students use the boots as sculptural objects and not just a canvas, he added the bristles to form whiskers, and the jokester that he is, has the tail of the tiger flicking at the heel. In addition to the jungle scene, the laces are also colored, to help them hide the tyger in the jungle.
