Merry Christmas To Dave
With Love From Wendy

About the Piece: This is the fourth piece of wall art that I created. It was made as a Christmas present for my father-in-law, Dave. Dave is an avid train buff who grew up in Renovo, Pennsylvania, a railroad town. I had thought Dave might like a quilt that depicted his childhood home but he said he'd really prefer one of a train scene. To suit the scene, a horny toad, rather than a frog, was added in the lower right foreground.
