Did you ever do a paint-by-number picture? I can recall doing a few many years ago. I found these two paint-by-number pictures at the local thrift store. They were in simple oak frames and priced at $1.99. I brought them home and took them from their frames. The boat scene is currently displayed on a shelf in my living room but I think I will replace it with the snow scene for a few weeks. I love the colors in both these paintings. Someone spent a great deal of time and effort painting these little vintage treasures. I'm so glad I found them.. I am sharing them on Vintage Thingie Thursday. You will find more vintage thingies here.
Yes, many years ago I did things like this. None looked as nice as these. Great find and the way you famed looks good.
ReplyDeleteI love the paint by number pictures...I remember them so much from my childhood....like your blog...I will come again...blessings,Shelley
ReplyDeletethese are really nice, I like them, brings back lots of memories. Happy VTT
ReplyDeleteThose are so much fun, I would love to find some! Not that I have any space to hang them, of course. I saw something on TV about a year ago about a couple who collect them, their walls were just crammed with them, it was fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI think PBN's have so much charm. Didn't they recently add an exhibit at the Smithsonian just for PBN? Thanks for sharing, Nan
ReplyDeleteI remember painting so many of those in my childhood. :)
ReplyDeleteThose that you found are painted really well. Enjoy.
I can remember doing these as a child, but mine never came out this nicely, lol! The boat one reminds me of a lot of the little fishing communities here in New England. Happy VTT!
ReplyDeleteThe paint by numbers painting are interesting finds. Just became a friend and follower and am new to the VTT party. Hope you will stop by. It's so great to make new friends
ReplyDeleteI used to do paint by number projects all the time when I was younger. Now, when I find one at a yard sale or thrift store, it comes home with me.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did a paint by number horse once. I think it ended up in the garbage after a few years. Even with paint by number I'm not the best artist.
ReplyDeleteThese are GREAT! I remember doing paint by numbers, they were alot of fun ... and seeing yours brings back a lot of memories!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Hello! I found your blog while searching for info about my PBN fishing boat! Basically - it's the same as yours, but it's so interesting to see the individual differences as each painter interpreted the instructions! Yours is much neater, mine has a much looser style - at first I wasn't even sure it was a PBN! I love the water in yours - mine is very impressionistic. Like you, I absolutely love mine! Thanks for sharing yours.
