"Mystery Trip: A Gift for John" Acrylic on Canvas, June 2026

For an end of school gift to my 1st grader's bus driver, John, I did this small painting of him and the three boys he transports, with a feel like Magical Mystery Trip (except with the school's name on it). He put up with a lot all year, figured it was worth a few hours of painting (which is a joy in itself anyway).

And the usual Video progression (short, didn't take as many pics)
