It's news... and now it's art

A few months back we got an e-mail from an art teacher in Springville, Utah, asking about a photo on NHPR.org by correspondent Shannon Mullen. The photo of an antique car from the Dingman collection had caught the student's eye, and she was hoping to use the photo as a basis for an upcoming painting. We thought this was tremendous and gave our blessing immediately - and we just got word that the painting is finished!

The painting is by Janessa Hanks, a sophomore at Springville High School and an art student with Mary Reeder at All Things Art in Springville, Utah.

Many thanks to Janessa and Mary!
