Tee Shirt painted in 1990

This is a tee shirt I painted for my dad as a fathers day gift in 1990...After he passed away in 2004, my mom gave the shirt back to me...I wear this shirt a couple times a month...I painted it with acrylics, and then added metallic acrylics to accent the entire painting...
