My Mom would do paint by number paintings when I was a kid. It was her creative outlet and it wasn't messy. I remember Gainsborough's Blue Boy hanging in the dining room for many years.
A few years ago there was a piece on 60 Minutes about how these vintage paint by number paintings have become collector's items. You can read about it HERE.
Recently, I came across an article about the museum where the original Blue Boy is hanging. It really brought back that memory - something I haven't thought about in years. It's the Huntington Museum in California. They are currently in the process of refurbishing and doing it in full view of the public. What a great road trip that would be. You can read about it HERE.
Do you remember doing paint by numbers or a relative that did? I wonder what happened to my Mom's.
