Even as a spirit one has to use some material representation in a painting. This was a frequent representation of the Trinity in medieval/Renaissance/classical times....that of god the father being an elderly man. Jesus (God the son) on the cross, and God the Holy Spirit as a dove. The painting isn't meant to reflect a literal reality but rather a spiritual reality.
And yes, it's appropriate to represent God the Father wearing a crown, because a.) He's God and the king of creation and b.) Because it shows how even God the Son desired to do his will in all things
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
God the Father is a spirit, he doesn't have a form. That's Solomon. He's wearing a crown, does God wear a crown?

Just ignore this.
