Love it! It reminds of me of the Schoolhouse Rock commercials – in the 70s…

I have to look those up. All I remember, being at school myself, was dad painting those, a process I was so looking forward to! 😉 So happy you like them! 🤗🤗🤗

Oh that was brilliant! I love it!!!!
So you know what’s it like. I was always mesmerized by the process of coloring… dipping his paintbrush in those brilliant inks.

So glad you liked! They have a bunch of them.
I don’t, since my father painted elsewhere. He was part of a painting group at my high school. I would have loved to have been able to watch him in action. Sigh.

I’d be biased if I said I agree but then I sadly remember my school books at that age and I can positively say that I’d much rather have my father’s books than the ones I did!! 😉😉
