Grouping of Dog PBN
The Paint by Number kit was introduced in the 1950’s allowing people that had never picked up a paint brush to complete a work of art (http://americanhistory.si.edu/paint/rembrandt.html).
Some considered it another avenue of mindless conformity, but I am
thankful that people took an interest.
I love vintage Paint by Numbers and the kooky frames we find them
in. Every visit to the Long Beach Flea
Market my eyes are scanning the booths in hopes of finding more. I’ve found and purchased a few outdoors /
mountain scenes, and of course passed up a gazillion cuddly kitten paintings, and creepy clowns, but my favorites are the tropical and beach scene Paint by Numbers, which
continue to elude me while junk hunting.
I aspire to have a beautiful collection of tropical PBN and group them like Retro Renovations has done above.
The number of Tropical PBN's are limited on Etsy; below are few beauties that I found including links below.
