Vehicle painting

I'm so proud of the painting Dad did for the nursery! I took a new 30x40" canvas home with me and a box of paints and came back with a great piece of art for Crosby's room. Dad did a sketch Thursday night and sketched it on the canvas. Friday night he painted the airplane, firetruck and antique truck. I thought he did such a great job--I love every part of it! We had fun visiting while he painted.

The finished product--Lane hung it above the extra bed in C's room last night:

Thanks, Dad!!!!!
