Painting the Town is an original painting depicting Nate riding on his pet gecko lizard named Bucko at the corner of Normal and Holland where Nate lived at the time.  This painting was reproduced into prints that Nate shared with family & friends.  Nate was 20 years old when he created this artwork at Southwest Missouri State University (SMSU) in Springfield, Missouri.

In 2017, this painting became the title of a 20th Anniversary Memorial Exhibit of Nate's work at St Louis ArtWorks as well as the title of a book collecting the complete works of Nate.
