Photo of a small canvas with a partially done firetruck painting. The background has solid colors and the firetruck has the red and red and yellow bumper painted in but is otherwise unpainted The same small painting but now the grass in the background is darker and more detailed. The firetruck now has the white and silver filled in on the truck and the tires have been added. The firefighters sitting inside the truck have been painted in and are almost finished.
