Andrew "Bud" Albers admires his original Russell Briscoe oil painting, "Christmas Morning." The painting is so detailed and precise that it has the six dry cell batteries lined up to power the toy train. In the left background is a doll house that the artist probably made and used as a model for this painting. Briscoe made a living in the Great Depression making dollhouses for children.
